Glad you liked the phrase. :)
However, I don't understand the connection between that and your following 
sentence about the chapter's activities.
I'm as much a common wikimedian as you, by the way.

I do agree. I was only referring to the incidental fallout of you getting 
provoked.
I wouldn't support intentionally provoking anyone for that matter.
And, I'm sure nobody else had such an intention as well.
I'm sorry if you're offended.

But when I saw that bold text "Depths above 300 for Wikipedias below

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Malayalam wikipedia crossed the 10 Lakh/1 million edits milestone

[Shiju Alex]

In fact, bot edits in Indian Wikis is also an interesting metric. For
example, see the below table to understand share of the *percentage of bot
edits* across some major Indian wikis.

   - Bengali - 76
   - Bishnupriya Manipuri  - 97
   - Gujarati  - 37
   - Hindi - 50
   - Kannada - 59
   - Malayalam -  42
   - Marathi  - 62
   - Sanskrit - 85
   - Tamil - 51
   - Telugu - 51
   - Urdu  - 59

I know that for some Indian language wikipedians the only relevant metric is
*number of articles*. But of course, not for the Malayalam wikipedians. We
saw much value in all the metric that is published at
http://stats.wikimedia.org/. I know many others are also finding value to
it, that is why it is published every month.

This may be nothing related to original thread. Sorry. Malayalam wikipedia 
has its strength and its weakness.

Depth is just an indicator of collaborative character of editors. For a 
massive multiauthor collaboration site, some measurement mechanism is 
better 
than none. But I don't think large number of edits are bad. If anyone 
thinks 
that articel by single edit is better than multi edited article, I must say 
thats not wiki style :( . 


But there is an another issue, number of bot edits. Many ml users, mainly 
students, like to play with bots. Malayalam Wikipedia has never discouraged 
anyone for testing their bots (if their edits are okay), because user 
satisfaction is also a Wikipedia goal. We know that eventually they will 
create a great bot :).  Sometimes running a bot is not very simple. I had a 
spell checker bot and I had to overview all of its edits, because of 
Malayalam's ligatures and grammatical rules [or may be because bad logic 
;-)]. Even after running couple of months, it threw exceptions. So I'll say 
bot edits also are a kind of manual inputs. Now there are many global bots, 

most of them contributing interwiki. Bot conflict and bot-edit-war occurs 
occasionally which we usually avoided by protecting the page or by noticing 
the owner (Recent eg: See   history of വർഗ്ഗം:ഫലകങ്ങൾ). 


Malayalam Wikipedia is a small wiki, just over 16000 pages on main 
namespace, so it is easy to exaggerate bot contribution. But actually it is 
not, whenever a bot identified as doing  unwanted edit it gets blocked.

There are many wiki-projects which always engage users to do something on 
wiki. So whenever a user find an error, even it is the minute one, he/she 
corrects it. Nobody waits for large content to edit. Many portal (കവാടം) 
pages are there, which helps users to find their favourite topic.

In ml.wp - many pages in category namespace (there is an active 
categorization wiki-project, which keeps articles finely categorized), 
large 
number of templates and many help pages and project pages with good content 
(I'm sure that many of these help pages and project pages are really useful 
to new users to jump start wikipedia) are available. I think we are using 
talk pages aslo very well. 


It is clear from depth formula, that all these factors can be incremental 
to 
"depth". So if anybody believes that Malayalam Wikipedia is irrelevant, I 
welcome them to there to check its irrelevancy and contribute their home 
wikii until it become irrelevant like Malayalam Wikipedia. :)___

Hi Praveen,

My comment was shared generally on what we measure and its relevance.

For example, Google measures its project based on number of words
translated. But this number is irrelevant if the translation is mechanical
and flawed. I can cite numerous example where it is easy to get lost in
numbers and chase wrong targets.

Many of us who shared differing views do work with and appreciate Malayalam
Wikipedians on various things. So, please do not take this as a view against
Malayalam Wikipedia.

All izz well :)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Malayalam wikipedia crossed the 10 Lakh/1 million edits milestone

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Hey, nobody said Malayalam Wikipedia or any other Wikipedia is irrelevant.
:P

Each has a different style of functioning. A metric of high regard on
one Wikipedia may not be applicable on another, at all. A general policy on
one Wikipedia may not be applicable to another. Nevertheless, we need
Wikipedias with more exhaustive coverage ( read as number of articles ) but
*with higher quality* , don't really care how that is accomplished ( read as
bots, translations, higher number of edits) ( my personal opinion).

When we focus on number of articles, some end up creating useless

This may be nothing related to original thread. Sorry. Malayalam 
wikipedia has its strength and its weakness.


Depth is just an indicator of collaborative character of editors. For a 
massive multiauthor collaboration site, some measurement mechanism is 
better than none. But I don't think large number of edits are bad. If 
anyone thinks that articel by single edit is better than multi edited 
article, I must say thats not wiki style :( .


But there is an another issue, number of bot edits. Many ml users, 
mainly students, like to play with bots. Malayalam Wikipedia has never 
discouraged anyone for testing their bots (if their edits are okay), 
because user satisfaction is also a Wikipedia goal. We know that 
eventually they will create a great bot :).  Sometimes running a bot is 
not very simple. I had a spell checker bot and I had to overview all of 
its edits, because of Malayalam's ligatures and grammatical rules [or 
may be because bad logic ;-)]. Even after running couple of months, it 
threw exceptions. So I'll say bot edits also are a kind of manual 
inputs. Now there are many global bots, most of them contributing 
interwiki. Bot conflict and bot-edit-war occurs occasionally which we 
usually avoided by protecting the page or by noticing the owner (Recent 
eg: See history of ??:??? 
). 



Malayalam Wikipedia is a small wiki, just over 16000 pages on main 
namespace, so it is easy to exaggerate bot contribution. But actually it 
is not, whenever a bot identified as doing  unwanted edit it gets blocked.


There are many wiki-projects which always engage users to do something 
on wiki. So whenever a user find an error, even it is the minute one, 
he/she corrects it. Nobody waits for large content to edit. Many portal 
(?) pages are there, which helps users to find their favourite topic.


In ml.wp - many pages in category namespace (there is an active 
categorization wiki-project, which keeps articles finely categorized), 
large number of templates and many help pages and project pages with 
good content (I'm sure that many of these help pages and project pages 
are really useful to new users to jump start wikipedia) are available. I 
think we are using talk pages aslo very well.


It is clear from depth formula, that all these factors can be 
incremental to "depth". So if anybody believes that Malayalam Wikipedia 
is irrelevant, I welcome them to there to check its irrelevancy and 
contribute their home wikii until it become irrelevant like Malayalam 
Wikipedia. :)

When you start comparing with other wikis then it becomes a metric. And
depth is the only metric related with total number of edits :)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Malayalam wikipedia crossed the 10 Lakh/1 million edits milestone

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Although page depth was not really connected with the current
trend,  Personally, I think page depth is *no longer a reliable* metric for
comparison, here is why I think so.

Assamese Wikipedia ( 312 articles) : page depth is 339 .
Sindi ( 355 articles): 381

Compare this with
Bengali ( 22,062 articles) : 374
Malayalam ( 16,414 articles) : 320

It is self-explanatory...

Technically 1 million edits is a cute milestone ( congrats to ml wiki) to
take notice, but we cannot consider it as real metric for comparison among
Wikipedias. There are language Wikipedias where Google translation/Machine
translations or bot created articles are banned or controlled tightly. There
are Wikipedias, where they have a free run. Please note that I am not saying
taht they are either good or bad. There are Wikipedias where constant
updation of articles happening, due a vibrant Wikicommunity. There are
Wikipedians who like to work on the articles offline and then bring it live
with a single edit.

Having said that, it is advisable to do what each community feels best for
their language Wikipedia. Of course, it is good to have an healthy
competition :)

But everybody, please do continue to report such interesting milestones and
statistics. We all love that...

That happens in all the wikipedias which has an active community. That might
also be possible with the the Google translation project.

In general, quality of a wiki article improves as more people work on it.
More edits from more number of users means more quality on the wiki article.
Otherwise there is no difference between a knol/blogpost and a wiki article.

*Number of edits per article measure* may not be meaningful comparison, when
comparing wikipedias, as each language wikipedia follows its own policies
with regard to stub articles.

Thanks for the statistics on the language wikipedias.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Malayalam wikipedia crossed the 10 Lakh/1 million edits milestone

[Ravishankar]

Hi,

My congratulations is there for Malayalam Wikimedians always for lot of
reasons.

In any wiki there can be needless bot edits, numerous small changes which
can contribute to such stats. So I feel that beyond a point, we should learn
to disregard easily manipulable / differing stats and focus on overall
quality and use to the end users. (Which ml Wiki is already doing).

Precisely. Malayalam Wikipedia should be an example for all the budding
wikipedias including the ones in Indic languages.
