Talk:List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Neglected

The Formula

Nice page, funny game. Where is the formula itself? Do you show some of the articles closest under 10 and 30 kB?

What are your plans, dear creator of the formula and the list, for changing the list? Do you do it via formula? Or do we users do it? [1] --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven 07:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

To formula can be found here: List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Source code#MakeScoreTable.py in the function called GetNeglectForArticle()

If editors work on those 10 articles, the score will most likely improve for the wikipedia. Of course, the wikipedia and score could increase by greatly improving 10 other articles but this is just meant as a helpful hint. The process to update the scores and these lists takes a while to run (2 days) so I only update them once a month. -MarsRover 05:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Number in parentheses

I don't understand what do the numbers mean, the amount of bytes it has to grow to move to the next "type" of article? (from stub to article, from article to long article) --Meldor 13:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is the size of the article. For example, if its 9000 then with an increase of 1000 it would go from stub to article. But the size is not exactly the same as the number of bytes. In the case of European languages its pretty close. --MarsRover 15:28, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Titles

In the main table here, the article names are mostly the names of the Wikidata entries, as I would expect. But what's up with "youjiiz mas cabeza de calvo," row 313, which links to d:Q2329, chemistry? A. Mahoney (talk) 14:33, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Somebody repeatedly vandalizes the English name and description of d:Q2329 which should stand for en:Chemistry. It was spoiled in the end of May, and again two days ago. -- Ace111 (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I see. I'll keep an eye out for that kind of thing in the future! A. Mahoney (talk) 17:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
