Hi all,
I am writing up an academic paper on Wikipedia and need to include some statistics in the background section about the encyclopedia. What I am looking for includes, *but is not limited to*:
1. The number of articles in English and the following hugest 3 or 4 language versions, 2. The number of unique users, say in June 2009 3. The number of editors in English and perhaps some other versions.
I have made some search and found that the "Wikipedia statistics" page ( http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/), for example, provides some of this information. But I thought some of the people in the list will probably have related good advice as well.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,

Most statistics pages are linked to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AStatistics
In particular, the sizes of the various languages are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_statistics
Thank you, Thomas!
