These numbers for the German Wikipedia are about 15% - 25% higher than those for susning.nu, for the same first 12 days of September 2003.
I think it is fair to admit that the German Wikipedia is taking over the position as the world's 2nd biggest wiki, even though the number of articles doesn't really reach susning's yet. With the German speaking population being ten times bigger than Sweden's this is inevitable, only a matter of time.
However, the "Suchausdrücke" / "Search strings" (hits with a referrer URL from a search engine) are much lower on the German Wikipedia than on susning.nu. How come? Does Wikipedia's configuration of Webalizer fail to recognize some (German) search engines? Or do Germans don't use search engines? Even the Swedish Wikipedia has more search string hits than the German Wikipedia.
