One thing I've noticed is that all the papers
I'm referencing focus on the
English Wikipedia. When it comes to studies of other language editions, or
across multiple ones, I've struggled to come up with a key paper to point
to.
For this I usually reference Felipe Ortega's dissertation of 2009,
"Wikipedia: A Quantitative Analysis". All the basic trends were there to
see already, and at the time it was the only cross-language study AFAIK
(apart from Erik Zachte's statistics).

It's also linked from:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Resources
Hopefully someone else chimes in and fills that hole,
as it's important
to recognize that "Wikipedia" doesn't equal the English one.
Indeed.
