Re: [Wikimedia-l] ELWP reaches 100000 articles

2014-04-10 Thread Stevie Benton 
This is excellent news, well done to everyone involved!

It's actually got me thinking a little. I wonder if it would be possible to
do a study of the, say, 50 largest Wikipedias and get a handle on which
articles are shared across all of them. This could then be used to analyse
where there are gaps that might usefully be filled - both in terms of
quality and content. Could be based around which articles are considered
the most important in each Wikipedia, akin to the list of vital articles on
EN:WP.

Is this something that could easily be done? Would it be useful?

Thanks and regards,

Stevie

Dear colleagues,

Please join me in congratulating our colleagues of the Greek Wikipedia,
upon reaching 10 articles, a symbolic milestone for Wikipedias.

Some of them are on this list, but a lot more people would see and
appreciate your message on-wiki, so you can sign and (if you like) add a
message in your language, here:
https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%B7_%CE%92%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B9%CF%80%CE%B1%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1:100.000_%CE%BB%CE%AE%CE%BC%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%B1
