Hi folks,
This is to inform that Malayalam Wikipedia (ml.wikipedia.org) crossed
14,000 articles.
http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:StatisticsIt took only less than 2.5 months from 13K to 14K. This is particularly
important because Malayalam Wikipedia has strict guidelines on the quality
of the new articles being created. Good job !
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Hey everyone
Just wanted to inform everyone that there are some new statistics available
about global Wikipedia usage for Q3 of this year.
http://infodisiac.com/blog/2010/09/wikipedia-page-edits-a-global-perspective/I just saw some surprising trends if you look at a language and country-wise
breakdown of page views and edits.
1.India is No. 15 globally in terms of Wikipedia page views and edits which
is expected for having only 7% internet usage, one of the lowest in the
first 50 countries on the list.
2. India is still the fifth largest viewer of the English Wikipedia.
3. 94% of Indian Wikimedians view the English Wikipedia, the second largest
language group for India after English is Hindi with 0.6% of total views.
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportVisitsPerCountryTrends.htm4. 70% of edits from
India are on the English Wikipedia (this marks a
gradual fall in edits from 81% in Q4 2009) followed by 6.6% for Telugu (this
quarter also marks a large increase in edits in Telugu and Tamil languages,
while Hindi and Malayalam both registered a drop)
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportEditsPerCountryTrends.htmThe most surprising information is in the language-wise breakdown of edits
per country:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportVisitsPerLanguageBreakdown.htm#The first Indian language on the list by 0.03% of global share is Hindi,
followed by Telugu, Malayalam and Marathi, all at 0.02% of global Usage. the
most surprising statistics is that
the largest Page views to these languages
is not from India but the US sometimes more than several times the number of
views from India. Tamil is the only language where this disparity as its
lowest.
The number of views from India is highest at 94% to the English Wikipedia
but the number of edits has been steadily dropping at a very sharp rate
(almost 10% in the last year).
Regards
Salmaan

Thank you, Salmaan. These are fascinating data points and also, provide a
road-map, of sorts, to the community.
Best,

http://tech4society.blogspot.com/2010/03/firefox-indic-language-usage-is-not.html>
I feel that if a multinational company headquarted in US has a set of IP
addresses, it can use those addresses from India as well. Or the proxy might
be US IP. In which case the Indian page views can be treated as US page
views. If the number of edits from India have gone up in the respective
language, the views also would go up, as the views for the edits are not
removed from the total views.
Cheers
Arjun
