Hi Asaf,
Some of them are in Egyptian dialect (1
<https://arz.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1_%D8%A8%D9%83%D8%B1>)
but many stubs are in arabic (2

)
The user is using Wikidata to populate the articles (bios, cities ...).
According to a sysop friend from ar.wp the user was inspired and copied
what has been done in the last few years in ar.wp.
If the user is going to continue populating articles using this technique
we can expect that the number of articles can increase more and more (it's
even possible to exceed 1m soon).
PS: the user started editing July 2019 and became admin on arz.wp 4 months
ago.
Thanks

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 -
