[Wikimedia-l] Which Wikipedias have had large scale bot creation of articles this year?

[梁忠明]

Hi all,

In Chinese Wikipedia, there're no such bots to create lots of biological
articles - Ranyv, one of my colleagues there, said that Chinese is not a
language adopting the Roman alphabet, thus it is difficult to generate
translation names for those species - unlike Vietnamese and others, they
can use the binomial name as the article name. But there are some users use
AWB to create articles for places, Taipei Metro stations, etc.

As I know, in Vietnamese Wikipedia, such situation happens. I've heard that
there is a Vietnamese robot user (Cheers!-bot) create lots of articles
about biological species, making its article count surpassing the Chinese
(and Portuguese?) one, over 750,000 articles. That sparked a small-scale
debate among the Chinese Wikipedian community.

Cheers,
