Although page depth was not really connected with the current trend, Personally, I think page depth is <u>no longer a reliable</u> metric for comparison, here is why I think so.<div><br><div>Assamese Wikipedia ( 312 articles) : page depth is 339 . </div>
<div>Sindi ( 355 articles): 381</div><div><br></div><div>Compare this with </div><div>Bengali ( 22,062 articles) : 374</div><div>Malayalam ( 16,414 articles) : 320</div><div><br></div><div>It is self-explanatory...</div>
<div>
<br></div><div>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. </div>
<div><br></div><div>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 :)</div><div><br></div><div>But everybody, please do continue to report such interesting milestones and statistics. We all love that..<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Agree with Tinu. Congratulations on the progress though. Indeed, it is good to have healthy competition. <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Hari Prasad Nadig <br><a href="http://hpnadig.net" target="_blank">http://hpnadig.net</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/hpnadig" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/hpnadig</a><br>
