Hello Lars Alvik , Mark Williamson, et.al., Doing a quick bit of statistics here: The population size of Norway on 1 April 2004 was 4,582,600. It is usually claimed that about 10 % of the population are primary users of Nynorsk. That gives a user base of 458,260. The population has probably grown a wee bit since then, so let's say a roughly estimated primary user base of 460.000 as of today. There are currently 3767 articles on the Nynorsk Wikipedia. (3767/460.000*1000) = 8.19. And that has basically all happened since last summer. Unless my mathematics are completely off (and I am admittedly a bit tired right now), the Norwegian (Nynorsk) Wikipedia takes a clear lead with over 8 articles pr 1000 inhabitants.

Acually, after a couple of minutes of research i found the the wikipedia with best article pr. speaker ratio. Iceland, with 7 articles pr 1000 inhabitant. Followed closely by no, dk and fi with around 4 articles pr. 1000 inhabitant
And then follows faroese with around 3 articles pr inhabitant.

Wow, indeed.
I'm a bit surprised though that Welsh, Basque, Scottish Gaelic don't rank up there.
