Sorry to be vague. I mean the top 10 listed by the order at wikipedia.org http://wikipedia.org. This is my lazy way of quantifying largest, but I like it because the community largely determines that order. I believe it is by number of articles?
I was also thinking you meant top 10 by number of articles. However, it turns out that's not the case. E.g. Swedish Wikipedia has 1,612,674 (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistik), far more than Chinese (https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:%E7%BB%9F%E8%AE%A1%E4%BF%...) at 754,563. However, Chinese is at the top, whereas Swedish isn't.
I was curious, so I asked what the current criteria is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikipedia.org_template#Top_10_Crite... .
At any rate, we shouldn't refer to this group as the 10 largest Wikipedias, since that's not the case.
