Hi, <br><br>Based on Erik's Indic Wiki stats, I did an analysis for reach of Indic Wikipedias. <br><br>Wikis having at least 1000 views an hour and 1 Million population were taken for this. <br><br>Page views per article per hour indicates the overall usefulness of articles. <br>
<br>Page views per million speakers indicates the reach of Wiki and also normalises the ranking by page view ( For example, Tamil has roughly 1/8th of Hindi speaking population but has more than half its traffic)<br><br>The results can be seen at <br>
<br><a href="http://bit.ly/gdH21O">http://bit.ly/gdH21O</a><br><br>Malayalam and Tamil Wikis are performing comparably and have a higher reach.<br><br>Hindi and Bengali which have a huge population seem to have lesser reach. <br>
<br>I hope Indic Wikimedia strategy will consider such analyses and focus to have a better return on their efforts and not mislead by plain article count and page views. <br><br>Regards, <br><br>Ravi<br>
