On that note, I would like to announce that the four Scandinavian language Wikipedias (sv, no/nb, da, and nn) combined have 150,000 articles as of early July 2005, all of which are more or less intelligible for all who know one of the languages. The biggest contributor to this number is of course the Swedish Wikipedia currently with >86,000 articles, followed by Norwegian (bokmål) which are about to cross the 30,000 mark, Danish with >26,000 and the 11-month old Norwegian (nynorsk) Wikipedia with >8,800 articles.

It would be interesting to know the number of unique articles across the Scandinavian languages as a group. Presumably this could be calculated based on interlanguage links.
