Talk:List of Wikipedias by sample of articles
From Meta
[edit] Any "lists of absent articles of each major Wikipedias"?
If possible, I suggest the lists of absent articles of each major Wikipedias are better to be generated in another page for references. Actually, in Chinese Wikipedia's "List of articles every Wikipedia should have", all articles listed there have been created already (0 absent articles). However, since that list was created more than a year ago, we don't know which 34 acticles are newly added in the list in meta but are not created in chinese version yet. -- Kevinhksouth 14:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's a good idea. My software didn't record the list of absent articles -- I'll change it so that it does, it isn't very difficult. So when I update this page (say, in a couple of months), I'll mage sure I have a list of 'missing articles'. You're right that the list of articles every Wikipedia should have has changed in the last year, and may even change in the future. (How are the articles chosen, by the way? By voting? Or can anyone who thinks a certain article is important just add it?) --Smeira 17:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

- Oh, I thought you had meant I could recover the information about which articles from the list were not found on the Chinese Wikipedia. Yes, I can see new additions to the list of Wikipedias this way. Thanks! --Smeira 07:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hello, you have announced above, that you will have a list (or betteer lists) of 'missing articles' ... do you have this kind of lists ? Where can we consult there ? --Jauclair 22:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Wikipedia samplings
I was testing creating statistics from sampling articles from various wikipedia. (A lot simpler than downloading gigabytes of data). Get 30 random articles and figure out what was covered based on the List of articles every Wikipedia should have topics. Also, figure out what percent of the article edits were made by a robot. Its pretty interesting seeing the differences. If a wiki has a lot of articles with unknown categories, it just means that they have no interwiki links to the English wikipedia.
