I won't want to add an extra weight on everyone, but Arabic Wikipedia have a very high rank in Google (Thanks to other Wikipedias of course) .. So if you search in google in Arabic for anything that we already have an article for in Arabic Wikipedia it will have a very high rank... some examples, (and ranks): - ????? [Japan] (#1) - ????? ???? [Nobel Prize] (#7 in the first page) - ?????? ???? [Menachem Begin] (#2) - ???? ????? [Ahmed Yasin] (#5)
and so on.. for me that made me feel that we should make quality articles, of course I release that the rank of Arabic Wikipedia is inherited from the international Wikipedia project, but I hope that soon the Arabic Wikipedia will be a reference as well that will help help raise or sustain the Wikipedia rank in general. (for many search rank is a non-issue, but at least for me it means that more people will find Arabic Wikipedia) Yours Isam Bayazidi
