To reach the milestone Maithili Wikimedians has taken a challenge named Maithili Wikipedia Mission 10 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maithili_Wikimedians_User_Group/Events/Mission_10. In the month of December, Maithili Wikipedia shows high level of activity https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/15148.
We are really proud of the Maithili Wikipedia Community and Maithili Wikimedians volunteers who run and support the Mission 10. We would also like to thanks each and one contributor who contributed to the Mission 10.
Happy New Year 2017!!!
Best Biplab
It's amazing to see comparatively new Wikipedia like Maithili Wikipedia to surpass 10 K article in just about 2 years time.
Congratulations goes to all the contributors.

Hoi, To be perfectly honest I get so annoyed by such questions. It proves distrust and it shows a lack of perspective for what we are actually about. We are about "sharing the sum of all knowledge" and we do not do all that we can do to even share in the sum of all the knowledge we have.
Biplap answered that their effort comprises of articles that were written. However with 10K articles there is a lot that we could share that is not provided in Maithili. At that there is a lot of knowledge, even in English, that we do not share. While bot generated articles are reviled, they do one thing better. They share what is there. This is not to say that we could improve on the concept but that requires that people are willing to think about this.
We could easily generate texts based on the information that exists in Wikidata. This has been done for many years now and it works perfectly in English (little grammar). It is done a lot on several Wikipedias and it works for them; they gain more readers as a result.. THIS is the key point.
We can improve on bots. We can base our search results also on Wikidata and generate articles that are cached when there is no article yet. We can do this for red links as well and the combined result will be a large increase in information that we share with our public. This will be a huge benefit for all Wikipedias but English will benefit the most because typically there are labels in English not so much in other languages.
My question to you all is: this is 2017. A new president will rule in the USA and the point is made that because "liberals" are not able to consider the points of view of others, to reflect on what they do is what made Mr Trump the next president. My point is that when we are not able to discuss our issues and remain stuck in our points of view we will not work towards a model where the manipulations of Mr Trump can be thwarted.
Happy New Year.
Thanks, GerardM

I was merely interested in the fact whether or not this was done with the help of bots or not. That is was not just makes it all the more impressive!
My question was not in order to make a comment with my opinion about bot-generated articles.

Hoi, It is not about you. The question is only relevant because some make it a big thing. My point is that we should move on, no longer need to generate bot generated articles but cache the results. This will make the question go away and it will have us serve our readers better. Thanks GerardM
