30% by articles, maybe, but they were stubs weren't they, so it won't be 30% by words. (That may explain why their articles are longer on average.) Incidentally, I don't think Rambot articles were that significant - if you look at the graphs, rate of growth didn't increase when they were added as one would expect is rate of growth were simply proportional to size (which it what gives exponential growth) which suggests rate of growth was actually proportional to the number of non-Rambot articles. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
