സുഹൃത്തുക്കളേ,
ഒരു സന്തോഷ വാർത്ത നിങ്ങളെ എല്ലാവരെയും അറിയിക്കുകയാണ്. മലയാളം വിക്കിപീഡിയയിൽ 10 ലക്ഷം തിരുത്തലുകൾ (Edits) തികഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇക്കഴിഞ്ഞ ജനുവരി 22-നായിരുന്നു 10 ലക്ഷം തിരുത്തലുകൾ തികഞ്ഞത്. ഈ കടമ്പ കടക്കുന്ന അമ്പത്തി ഒന്നാമത്തെ വിക്കിപീഡിയയാണ് മലയാളം[1]. ഈ കടമ്പ കടന്ന ഏക ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിപീഡിയയും മലയാളമാണ്[1].
ലേഖനങ്ങളുടെ എണ്ണം വർദ്ധിപ്പിക്കുക എന്നത് പ്രാഥമികമായ ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കാതെ, കാമ്പുള്ള ലേഖനങ്ങൾ സൃഷ്ടിക്കുക എന്ന ലക്ഷ്യത്തോടെ പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ ഫലമായാണ് ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതൽ ഡെപ്ത് ഉള്ള ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിപീഡിയയും ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതൽ തിരുത്തലുകൾ നടത്തിയ ഇന്ത്യൻ വിക്കിപീഡിയയും മലയാളമായത്. ഈ സ്ഥാനം എന്നെന്നും നിലനിർത്തിപ്പോരാൻ നിങ്ങൾ ഓരോരുത്തരുടെയും സഹകരണം ആവശ്യമാണ്.
മറ്റു പ്രധാന ഇന്ത്യൻ ഭാഷാ വിക്കിപീഡിയയിലെ തിരുത്തലുകളുടെ എണ്ണം കാണുക.

That is the the main reason behind this achievement. Malayalam wikipedia also has the *most number of edits per article *(more than 30) among all theIndian wikis.

*Number of edits per article measure* may not be meaningful comparison, when comparing wikipedias, as each language wikipedia follows its own policies with regard to stub articles.
Thanks for the statistics on the language wikipedias.

Great.
Arjuna, Kindly share the policy of Telugu Wikipedia with regard to stub articles. I am sure other Indian language wikipedias will benefit from it.

Its not just about stubs.
We have users in Tamil Wikipedia who bulk upload 100s of complete articles they wrote offline with just one edit per article. One great article can be uploaded in one click and one mediocre article can have 100s of edits.
According to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias
*"Depths above 300 for Wikipediashttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias#Notesbelow 100 000 articles have been automatically dismissed as irrelevant." * When we focus on number of articles, some end up creating useless stubs. The same should not happen when we focus on edit counts.

That happens in all the wikipedias which has an active community. That might also be possible with the the Google translation project.
In general, quality of a wiki article improves as more people work on it. More edits from more number of users means more quality on the wiki article. Otherwise there is no difference between a knol/blogpost and a wiki article. :)

Although page depth was not really connected with the current trend, Personally, I think page depth is *no longer a reliable* metric for comparison, here is why I think so.
Assamese Wikipedia ( 312 articles) : page depth is 339 . Sindi ( 355 articles): 381
Compare this with Bengali ( 22,062 articles) : 374 Malayalam ( 16,414 articles) : 320
It is self-explanatory...
Technically 1 million edits is a cute milestone ( congrats to ml wiki) to take notice, but we cannot consider it as real metric for comparison among Wikipedias. There are language Wikipedias where Google translation/Machine translations or bot created articles are banned or controlled tightly. There are Wikipedias, where they have a free run. Please note that I am not saying taht they are either good or bad. There are Wikipedias where constant updation of articles happening, due a vibrant Wikicommunity. There are Wikipedians who like to work on the articles offline and then bring it live with a single edit.
Having said that, it is advisable to do what each community feels best for their language Wikipedia. Of course, it is good to have an healthy competition :)
But everybody, please do continue to report such interesting milestones and statistics. We all love that...

When you start comparing with other wikis then it becomes a metric. And depth is the only metric related with total number of edits :)

This may be nothing related to original thread. Sorry. Malayalam wikipedia has its strength and its weakness.
Depth is just an indicator of collaborative character of editors. For a massive multiauthor collaboration site, some measurement mechanism is better than none. But I don't think large number of edits are bad. If anyone thinks that articel by single edit is better than multi edited article, I must say thats not wiki style :( .
But there is an another issue, number of bot edits. Many ml users, mainly students, like to play with bots. Malayalam Wikipedia has never discouraged anyone for testing their bots (if their edits are okay), because user satisfaction is also a Wikipedia goal. We know that eventually they will create a great bot :). Sometimes running a bot is not very simple. I had a spell checker bot and I had to overview all of its edits, because of Malayalam's ligatures and grammatical rules [or may be because bad logic ;-)]. Even after running couple of months, it threw exceptions. So I'll say bot edits also are a kind of manual inputs. Now there are many global bots, most of them contributing interwiki. Bot conflict and bot-edit-war occurs occasionally which we usually avoided by protecting the page or by noticing the owner (Recent eg: See history of ??????:??????? http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%BC%E0%B4%97%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%97%E0%B4%82:%E0%B4%AB%E0%B4%B2%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%BE&action=history).
Malayalam Wikipedia is a small wiki, just over 16000 pages on main namespace, so it is easy to exaggerate bot contribution. But actually it is not, whenever a bot identified as doing unwanted edit it gets blocked.
There are many wiki-projects which always engage users to do something on wiki. So whenever a user find an error, even it is the minute one, he/she corrects it. Nobody waits for large content to edit. Many portal (?????) pages are there, which helps users to find their favourite topic.
In ml.wp - many pages in category namespace (there is an active categorization wiki-project, which keeps articles finely categorized), large number of templates and many help pages and project pages with good content (I'm sure that many of these help pages and project pages are really useful to new users to jump start wikipedia) are available. I think we are using talk pages aslo very well.
It is clear from depth formula, that all these factors can be incremental to "depth". So if anybody believes that Malayalam Wikipedia is irrelevant, I welcome them to there to check its irrelevancy and contribute their home wikii until it become irrelevant like Malayalam Wikipedia. :)
Hey, nobody said Malayalam Wikipedia or any other Wikipedia is irrelevant. :P
Each has a different style of functioning. A metric of high regard on one Wikipedia may not be applicable on another, at all. A general policy on one Wikipedia may not be applicable to another. Nevertheless, we need Wikipedias with more exhaustive coverage ( read as number of articles ) but *with higher quality* , don't really care how that is accomplished ( read as bots, translations, higher number of edits) ( my personal opinion).

Hi Praveen,
My comment was shared generally on what we measure and its relevance.
For example, Google measures its project based on number of words translated. But this number is irrelevant if the translation is mechanical and flawed. I can cite numerous example where it is easy to get lost in numbers and chase wrong targets.
Many of us who shared differing views do work with and appreciate Malayalam Wikipedians on various things. So, please do not take this as a view against Malayalam Wikipedia.
All izz well :)
Ravi
Praveen,
You've shown how much insight we can glean by provoking Malayalam Wiki friends. ;) We all got a great inside view of the different aspects of participation in one of the finest Indian wikis.
So if anybody believes that Malayalam Wikipedia is irrelevant, I welcome them to there to check its irrelevancy and contribute their home
wikii until it become irrelevant like Malayalam Wikipedia. :)
I don't think anyone doubted that.

In fact, bot edits in Indian Wikis is also an interesting metric. For example, see the below table to understand share of the *percentage of bot edits* across some major Indian wikis.

This may be nothing related to original thread. Sorry. Malayalam wikipedia has its strength and its weakness.
Depth is just an indicator of collaborative character of editors. For a massive multiauthor collaboration site, some measurement mechanism is better than none. But I don't think large number of edits are bad. If anyone thinks that articel by single edit is better than multi edited article, I must say thats not wiki style :( .
But there is an another issue, number of bot edits. Many ml users, mainly students, like to play with bots. Malayalam Wikipedia has never discouraged anyone for testing their bots (if their edits are okay), because user satisfaction is also a Wikipedia goal. We know that eventually they will create a great bot :). Sometimes running a bot is not very simple. I had a spell checker bot and I had to overview all of its edits, because of Malayalam's ligatures and grammatical rules [or may be because bad logic ;-)]. Even after running couple of months, it threw exceptions. So I'll say bot edits also are a kind of manual inputs. Now there are many global bots, most of them contributing interwiki. Bot conflict and bot-edit-war occurs occasionally which we usually avoided by protecting the page or by noticing the owner (Recent eg: See history of വർഗ്ഗം:ഫലകങ്ങൾhttp://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%BC%E0%B4%97%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%97%E0%B4%82:%E0%B4%AB%E0%B4%B2%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%99%E0%B5%BE&action=history).
Malayalam Wikipedia is a small wiki, just over 16000 pages on main namespace, so it is easy to exaggerate bot contribution. But actually it is not, whenever a bot identified as doing unwanted edit it gets blocked.
There are many wiki-projects which always engage users to do something on wiki. So whenever a user find an error, even it is the minute one, he/she corrects it. Nobody waits for large content to edit. Many portal (കവാടം) pages are there, which helps users to find their favourite topic.
In ml.wp - many pages in category namespace (there is an active categorization wiki-project, which keeps articles finely categorized), large number of templates and many help pages and project pages with good content (I'm sure that many of these help pages and project pages are really useful to new users to jump start wikipedia) are available. I think we are using talk pages aslo very well.
It is clear from depth formula, that all these factors can be incremental to "depth". So if anybody believes that Malayalam Wikipedia is irrelevant, I welcome them to there to check its irrelevancy and contribute their home wikii until it become irrelevant like Malayalam Wikipedia. :)

Hi Praveen,

I do agree. I was only referring to the incidental fallout of you getting provoked. I wouldn't support intentionally provoking anyone for that matter. And, I'm sure nobody else had such an intention as well. I'm sorry if you're offended.

Great.
Arjuna, Kindly share the policy of Telugu Wikipedia with regard to stub articles. I am sure other Indian language wikipedias will benefit from it.
Stubs are not discouraged on Telugu wiki whether they are manually created
or bot created. Since the measure is a ratio with number of articles in the denominator, the value will be low, when a Wikipedia has lots of stub articles. On Telugu wikipedia, the large number of village articles created in 2007-2008 with help of a bot skew this measure.
