User:Purplebackpack89/VitalArticlesXNote
The Meta 1000 list (which the German and Japanese Wikipedia borrow) has 204. The English Vital articles list has 123. The Spanish vital articles list has 270. The French and Chinese lists have 216 each. I think the proper amount for this list is a nice, round, 2,000; distributed in the way I suggest.
I am going to make a table with the various numbers each 1,000 list has; the number our 10,000 list currently has, and the number it should have (current total: 1620+25+10+20+50=1725)
