Dear all,
I have some findings to show the page views per Internet user measurement may help comparing different language editions of Wikipedia. Criticism and suggestions are welcome.

Which language version of Wikipedia enjoys the most page views per language Internet user than expected? It is Finnish. In terms of absolute positive and negative gap, English has the widest positive gap whereas Chinese has the largest negative gap.
......
In particular, it is known that Wikipedia (and Google which often favours Wikipedia) faces local competition in the People's Republic of China and South Korea. Therefore it is understandable the page views may be lower in Chinese and Korean Wikipedia language projects simply because some users' need to read user-generated encyclopedias are satisfied by other websites. However, it remains an important question to examine why these particular Latin and Asian languages are under-developed for Wikipedia projects.
