And to Ingo's other questions? What is the language like? Is it actually the Egyptian dialect?

Hi Ingo,
That's very interesting !
It looks that more than 130k new articles have been created by the same user: *HitomiAkane *and apparently it's not a bot.
I'm wondering what is the trigger behind this ?
Thanks Yamen

NB: looking at it: they might even work manually, not purely by bot?

Hi everybody
I noticed a sudden expansion of arz.wikipedia (Egyptian Arabic dialect version). Can one of our Arabic speakers help (it would save time for me as my Arabic is bati' ktir -too slow)?
Arz.wiki used to hover under 20,000 articles for years, was at 24,000 until November 2019 and then started adding, reaching 158,107 today 5 March 2020 (adding 10,000 articles in the 5 days of March!). Looks like some programme doing articles. I wonder: is there anything readable coming out of it? Is it actually masri or do they just copy regular existing material from ar.wikipedia? Appreciate our Arabic speakers' wisdom! Cheers, Ingo - Kipala from sw.wiki
