Hello, Please allow me to elaborate on one point partially made earlier.
A good encyclopedic article can only be judged if seen by your own eyes. Some articles are bot created, but later humans came to work on and make it a good article with more than just serial or database information. I have the impression that this happened a lot in the Frisian Wikipedia. On the other hand, sometimes people let a bot write article code *outside of Wikipedia*, and then they create the article "by hand". In this way, in the statistics the article seems to be created by a human. Thus, a high or low percentage of bot created articles or bot edits does not necessarily say something about the quality or encyclopediacity (is that a word?) of a Wikipedia language version.
