[Foundation-l] Classifying what is on Wikipedia

[Samuel Klein]

Questions that affect all Wikipedias are suitable for wikipedia-l.
Research and data-related questions such as this might also be
appropriate for the research list.

Peter D - this is a fascinating question, but this thread may be more
suited to the research list until you find the technical answers you
are looking for.
