English Wikipedia has the largest collection of content, and on average I would guess that the content is of a higher, or at least a more complete, quality than most other language wiki's. Computer forensics... is relatively decent on en-wp; it has a number of foreign language equivilants but none of them are of particular length or completeness. What I am really saying is.. alongside the figures of how many language Wiki's we are missing should be a figure of how many language Wiki's don't yet constitute a reasonably detailed encyclopaedia. Just theorizing on a related topic :) Tom On 22 May 2011 22:18, Milos Rancic <[email protected]> wrote: > On 05/22/2011 06:41 PM, Thomas Morton wrote: > > An interesting "aside" on this would be... > > > > What is the quality of the foreign-language Wiki's that currently exist. > For > > example; the articles in my specific technical topic area have a few > foreign > > language equivalents.
