1) I noted that figure given by {{NUMBEROF|ARTICLES}}
and one that is
shown by
stats.wikimedia.org Summary files per Wikipedia language
editions vary, even if slightly... ex. sahwiki -
10 619,
https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/SummarySAH.htm - 11,499
See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_counts_revisited
2) Drops in visit levels per month (up to x2-3 times)
are results of
comparing mid-June to mid-Nov figures I've done using
http://stats.grok.se/ but even
stats.wikimedia.org seems to suggest
something similar.
Well, I don't see such a thing. It's probably best to wait for the
recent data cleanup to be applied to older months as well (the tracaking
report is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114379 : quite technical,
but you can just check if there is activity and if it's marked resolved).
3) Thanks for Language Prestige article, useful
insights.
I invited WMRU guys to consider if we can show our appreciation for
languages of Russia by offering a possibility to view/translate the Main
page of
https://ru.wikimedia.org/ in(to) respective languages.
However, I believe we need to start with
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Russia, which is really behind
its counterparts - placed respective request to mark for translation
with respective administrator.
Well, that might be useful to convince a handful wikimedians who visit
those pages, but not the general population. Language prestige is
usually increased by things like
* official use of the language,
* famous literature and other works in the language,
* TV screening at least some programs in the language (they do this in
Finland's YLE),
* advanced technology supporting the language.
