Correction: 300 articles in 20 hours :)

As Bala said, the articles were mainly based on easily verifiable statistics
and well monitored by the community so the quality of the articles were not
compromised.

What is noteworthy is not just the number but the fact that people find
contributing to Wikipedia worthy enough so they rally their relatives and
colleagues to help. This is not an easy feat. But this is one of the best
bets to recruit new editors to growing Wikipedias.
