Hi researchers,
I was surprised to learn that the Waray-Waray language, which has about 2.6 million native speakers and is a regional language in the Philippines, has about 1.3 million articles in its Wikipedia. Is this the result of bot translations, or is this a small language community with a very high level of Wikipedia human activity?
Thanks, Pine
Bot creations, not translations. Something that is better done with tools like Wikidata and Reasonator. Similar thongs were done in Swedish and in Cebuano, another regional language in the Philippines. בתאריך 1 במאי 2015 11:44, "Pine W" wiki.pine@gmail.com כתב:

Correct. The Waray[1] Wikipedia has only one active editor.

[1] "Waray-Waray" is considered mildly derogatory by Waray speakers. On May 1, 2015 1:59 AM, "Amir E. Aharoni" amir.aharoni@mail.huji.ac.il wrote:

Hi researchers,
One would think that you've learnt using WikiStats by now for trivial questions. * https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaWAR.htm#bots * https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/BotActivityMatrixCreates.htm

Please, please be civil and respectful on your behavior towards others on the research list. I stopped reading Wikimedia-l because the tone turned me off. I'd rather not have to stop reading this one.

Thanks for the links Finn! Here is an overview of bot-production by wiki language prepared by Erik Zachte and you can see that Waray-Waray is 91% bot-generated (mostly by LSJbot, but also by Dwylobot) and Swedish is now almost three quarters bot-generated by LSJbot http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/BotActivityMatrixCreates.htm
