[Wikipedia-l] Re: No more new Wikipedias !

[Mark Williamson]

Another argument to add:

Many of the existing Wikipedias (Catalan, Basque, Galician, Sicilian,
Scots, etc etc) are in languages whose speakers are generally also
highly fluent in a more widely-spoken language (Spanish or French,
Spanish or French, Spanish or Portuguese, Italian, and English,
respectively).

Should we delete these Wikipedias?

I think that, with time, a Neapolitan Wikipedia could grow to be the
size that the Italian Wikipedia is today. Will they ever be the same
size at the same time? Probably not. But it's also unlikely that the
Italian Wikipedia will overtake that English Wikipedia in size... it
seems to have to do more with when they were started, how well they
were publicised, etc., rather than some sort of internal value for
each language.
