[Wikipedia-l] RFC: Principles of mass content adding on small Wikipedias

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

Millosh, you make an excellent point.
 
I was looking at the Swahili Wikipedia last night (< 200 articles).  Their 
featured article is Eritrea, a country in Africa, and someone made the  effort 
to translate most of the country table.While they do not even have  articles 
about most of the other countries in Africa, I was thinking about how  easy it 
would be to add that table to the existing articles like Togo or Ghana,  or 
even to countries that do not yet have articles, since the table can be  a great 
source of initial information. I was wondering if I could do it myself,  but 
obviously, your idea of a bot doing that would be much more effective and  less 
prone to any clumsy mistakes I might make. As for non-existent articles, I  
am sure some of our linguists could come up with the names of those countries 
in  Swahili as well. 
 
Of course, Swahili is only an example. This can be implemented in almost  all 
other languages. Thanks for raising this.
