[Foundation-l] Wikipedias by page views

[Aude]

I'm finding with some languages including Arabic and major languages in
India, that the Wikipedia sites in those languages (as well as readership)
are drastically smaller than they should be given the number of speakers.

One reason for that is that many people (especially those who have access
and use the Internet) have also learned English well.  The breadth and
quality of articles on English wiki is vastly greater than arwiki and many
others.  Also, many articles on arwiki are stubs.If you are an internet user
who is proficient in both English and Arabic, and need to look up some
information, where would you look to find the answer?

I think that's a major reason to explain the statistics on viewership and
other aspects of the various language wikis.
