[Wikipedia-l] Congratulations are in order (an overlooked milestone)

[Andre Engels]

Is there a place where I can see the current sizes of the various
languages? The statistics page is still showing the situation of late
December, and going through about 150 languages by hand is an awful
lot of work (I use a list of 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 'largest' languages
for the bot).
