The sense of "record" is a bit unclear here, and the number is
outdated anyway (it's  198 249 right now).  Suggest to modify as
follows:
After 13 years, Esperanto Wikipedia has reached almost 200,000
articles - more than many natural languages

LGTM (shouldn't there be an "a" after "of" though?)

I think that's not quite what the post says...

I like the choice of quote, but I'm not sure "among the fastest
growing Wikipedias" is true. Perhaps something like this instead:

"In the context of Esperanto Wikipedia, we find people from different

parts of the world enthusiastically contributing." With almost 200,00
articles, the Esperanto Wikipedia is larger than the Wikipedias of
many natural languages.
