Hi Brent. How many articles exist in other Wikipedias and don&#39;t have an English translation at English Wikipedia? Any estimate?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/3/31 Brent Hecht <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:brent@u.northwestern.edu">brent@u.northwestern.edu</a>&gt;</span><br>

    <div>Hello Wikidata Folks,
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>My name is Brent Hecht, and I&#39;ve done a great deal of
        research on the differences and similarities between the
        language editions. I was really excited to hear about the
        Wikidata project moving forward, and I think some of my research
        might be of assistance. I&#39;d enjoy being able to help the
        community make this important transition.<br>
        <br>
        In particular, my experience navigating interlanguage link
        conflicts might be able to help in Phase 1. Please let me know
        if there&#39;s anything I can do over the short term or long term!</div>
