Though those told us an interesting thing: ~50% of edits on en:wp are from the US, ~25% are from the UK. The populations are 300m and 60m respectively. This means that per head of population, British editors are 2 1/2 times as active as American ones - English WIkipedia thus has disproportionate British participation. (I got to use this on someone from the BBC a coupla years ago, gathering background, who'd assumed en:wp was basically an American effort. He was quite impressed.) - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
