Indic Language Wikipedias - Statistics - 2009 December
by Shiju Alex 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hello All, Here is a brief statistical analysis of some of the major Indic language wikipedias for the month of 2009 December. http://shijualexonline.googlepages.com/2009_december_en.pdf The data for this report is taken from the statistical analysis (of all the WikiMedia foundation wikis) prepared and maintained by Erik Zachte (Website: http://infodisiac.com/). The statistics is available at http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm. Special thanks to Erik for all the support he has extended while I was compiling this report. The report is prepared by collecting the data available on the last day of every month. That is, the statistical data for the month of 2009 December is collected at 2009 December 31 23:59 PM GMT and so on. Kindly note that, for time being, I have included the statistical information of only those Indian language wikipedias that crossed the 1000 articles milestone. Following are those Indian Language Wikipedias. * Bengali * Bishnupriya Manipuri * Gujarathi * Hindi * Kannada * Malayalam * Marathi * Tamil * Telugu I have plans to add the following SEA language wikipedias in the future statistical reports (Statistical report for the month of January 2010 onwards) * Sinhala * Sanskrit * Bhojpuri * Oriya * Punjabi * Assamese I hope this initiative will improve the interaction between different Indic Language Wikipedias/wikipedians. We (Malayalam Wikipedians - http://ml.wikipedia.org) are maintaining a similar comparison study of the major Indic Language wikipedias for the past two years. This analysis has helped us to understand the status of Malayalam Wikipedia as compared to the other Indic Language Wikipedias. I hope this report will help other Indic language wikipedias also. The PDF of detailed analysis is available at http://shijualexonline.googlepages.com/2009_december_en.pdf Please let me know in case there are any issues. Regards Shiju Alex
