Hoi, While the quality of the articles is not something I care to discuss. The main thing of the many articles is that as a result of the existence of these articles, the number of readers of these languages has gone up and hte number of editors has gone up as well.
Our aim is to share in the sum of all knowledge. This is information that is available to us. In my opinion it is better than nothing, it proves its case. The absolute quality of no information is a 100% fail rate.
If the WMF is honest about its aim, it forgets about ubiquitous information (English can be had everywhere) and puts its effort in bringing information out where there is none. Even in English.
Thanks, GerardM

I think these wikis have been on that list for a while. I don't know the specifics of why they're there, though, or comment on the depth/quality of the articles on the wikis.

Hi!
I just I noticed that Cebuano and Waray-waray Wikipedia are inside the
list
of the 10 Wikipedias with more articles.[1] It seems it happened during this weekend. Maybe in the case of Waray Wikipedia happened a little before. Somebody knows when did it was exactly? Did I miss a thread announcing this?
Waray-waray is now the 6th place and Cebuano has surpassed it.wiki and es.wiki and gained the place number 8, mainly due to Lsjbot work.[2] Definitely a milestone in Wikipedia and bots history.
