Ahhhh Elian, I see: we need your article on the stub-gnomes even in
English ... well I am trying to translate it into Italian, it is fun,
but really quite a difficult task as it has many of those "fine
meanings" that don't need translation, but you need to re-write the
whole text giving the same meanings in the other language to it (I
already wrote it once and then re-wrote .... but it still lacks
something) .... so I suppose the litteral translation "stub gnome" in
English does not work well ... maybe we should think about Snowwhite and
her "dwarfs" - so these could be come the "stub-dwarfs" ;-)
So who are going to be the English writing stub-dwarfs that make some
nice present to these articles "giving" a bit more information :-)
Well: I am not contributing much to wikipedias (I am more concentrated
on wiktionary) ... simply because my home are "languages" ;-) and this
mail is about them :-)
Ciao!
Sabine

I just realized that the English Wikipedia has articles on quite a
number of wikipedia language editions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedias_by_language
But hey, isn't there more to say about it than just outdated numbers
of articles or the writing direction? Doesn't each wikipedia have
something unique, a special culture, notable events which are not
milestones?
Spend a while to polish the article about your wikipedia to spare it
the fate of rotting as a "wikipedia-related stub" in the cleanup
department ;-)
greetings,
elian
PS: In the german wikipedia these articles would probably have been
deleted as irrelevant...ehemm...that's our specific culture
