I have added my views about the Indian Wikipedias statistics (2010 January)
in my blog. The link to the blog post is
Please feel free to add your suggestions/analysis as comment to the post. I
encourage publishing your views/comment as separate blog post also. We can
also discuss about the same in the mailing list.
I hope analyzing the statistics will benefit all the Indian language wikis.
I would like to emphasis one point regarding the localization of MediaWiki
messages.
*Localization of the Wiki software is very important when we are trying to
reach to prospective Wikipedians in any language*. A website with the
interface and all system messages in your local language has edge over a
website with English only content among your language community.
GerardM <http://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:GerardM> has been enlightening
us regarding this many times. He has also send mails regarding this to the *
wikimediaindia* mailing list a couple of times. I request the respective
community to give top priority to localize the Mediawiki messages to your
language.
Thank you

Yes very much. I am preparing a blog post based on these numbers. Infact
for the past 1.5 years we are publishing an analysis based on these numbers
in Malayalam wiki mailing list each month.
I know the current information is not "analysis". But I hope it will
improve as we move forward based on the valuable inputs from all of you.
Siebrand, Erik,
I have noticed that in all the statistics tables at different locations,
*Bhojpuri language* is representented as *Bihari*. But Bhojupuri is one of
the *Bihari languages (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihari_languages)*.
Other Bihari languages are :
Angika<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angika_language>
*·* Bhojpuri <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhojpuri> *·* Fiji
Hindi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_Hindi>

Kudmali<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kudmali&action=edi…
*·* Magahi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magahi> *·*
Maithili<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maithili_language>
*·* Majhi <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majhi_language> *·*
Musasa<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musasa_language>

Panchpargania<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Panchpargania&am…
*·* Sadri <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadri_language> *·* Sadri,

Please see whether this information needs to updated.
Thank you

Hi Shiju Alex,
*very* nice overview in numbers.
You’re calling it an ‘analysis’. Usually I expect some prose with an
analysis – reasoning, assumptions and conclusions.
Do you - or someone else - have any plans to add these at some point in
time? Currently each reader has to go through all the tables, make his own
observations, mix in some assumptions and distill conclusions from those. I
truly understand that commenting on numbers is probably even more work than
gathering them in the current format in the first place.
It could however be very valuable – and a great discussion starter – if
someone would comment on the numbers say every 6 months. It would also allow
readers of the report to just read the words, and have the tables as an
annex.
Next steps could be to add goals, strategies to archieve them, and assess
the goals and strategies later on, based on this type of report.
Comments?
