Hello all,
I've requested a couple of amends to the article to reflect the above. Hopefully these will be picked up soon.
Thanks,

500m for all projects in all languages. Wikipedia-specific is probably smaller.

Also, "It estimates that is has about 365 million readers worldwide." I thought we just crossed the 500 million mark for unique visitors?
