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_Crit…
.
At any rate, we shouldn't refer to this group as the 10 largest
Wikipedias, since that's not the case.
