Old talk

I know that this is stupid to say, but is there any reason why the Polish Wikipedia has more pages than such pages as Spanish and Italian Wikipedia? I like to see Polish promoted as much as anyone and am glad to see it beat said articles. But Spanish has some 100 million+ speakers. Its one of the seven official languages of the UN. In about 25 years, there will be more Spanish-speaking Americans than English. Polish has no where near the credentials of Spanish, but still has more articles. Do Poles spend more time on the computer than Spaniards? It makes little sense. But, again, good to see.

I am afraid ultimate neglect of quality due to jingoism and perverted sense of competition are the answer. See the Depth Section in this article.

Then take a look on swedish wikipedia...

In Sweden probably 5 times more people have access to broadband internet then in Poland.

South America seems to have a lot less Internet access than Poland, and Spain is not linguistically uniform. So the difference in number of speakers with Internet access is smaller than the difference in raw number of speakers.

Spanish Wikipedia also had a problem due to the Enciclopedia Libre fork. Some people worked at the EL, some at the Spanish Wikipedia, and it lost a lot of its initial momentum (Spanish Wikipedia was the second largest for some time).

Still, 40-45M native speakers of Polish is not a small number, the Swedish case is much more interesting. Taw 21:09, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the original poster, only an idiot would think that the number of speakers of a language is proportional to the size of its Wikipedia. Have you seen the state of the Bengali Wikipedia recently??

For me the most funny thing about our number of articles is that we have about 70k to 100k stubs generated by bots about French and Italian communes which propably will never be developed into valually articles ;P Yeah and we're happy of being the biggest slavic wiki kicking out ru:wiki :P D_T_G (P L) 17:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC) P.S. Are we able Taw to enlarge this art to more or less Japanese Wikipedia quality level? D_T_G (P L) 17:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC) P.S. Why don't you fellows sign up (writing ~~~~) ;)[reply]

No, we have 38k about the French and Italian communes, not 100k. See the list at pl:Wikipedysta:Tsca.bot. tsca @ 16:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Italian and French communes, and now more than 50k articles with the "Josef.k bot", about all the universe, NGC, asteroids, and I don't know what. Well done... Enmerkar 12:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually simple. Italian, portuguese and even the polish wikipedia use automated scripts, which increase the number of articles (As an example, in a few days the italian wikipedia increased in 50.000 in a few days). That's the reason to see the true size of different wikipedias. The spanish wiki doesn't use automated scripts.--87.217.159.119 (talk) 17:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have slightly expanded the article useing the info from the pl wiki. ;) ---Botev

DVD 2007

See m:Polska Wikipedia na DVD (z Helionem)/en. Unfortunately it is an invalid reference for wikipedia. Are there any externally published press-releases to be used for a reference? `'Míkka 00:25, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

???

although having quite low depth parameters compared to other Slavic editions.

Says who?

Says this site. Voyevoda (talk) 18:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see such a statement there. What is the "low depth parameters" anyway? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article states, The "Depth" column ((Edits/Articles) × (Non-Articles/Articles) × (Stub-ratio)) is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia’s quality. The depth of Polish Wikipedia (8) is the lowest among Wikipedias with 100,000+ articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drmugg (talk • contribs) 10:24, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved this statement out of the lead paragraph of the article and gave it its own paragraph. It is useful information, but was receiving undue emphasis. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 01:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is still WP:UNDUE. "low depth parameters" are result of deleting old useless discussion etc. And why only "Depth" rating is mentioned as sth important? There is more than one method to compare wikis. Bulwersator (talk) 10:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 20-20 Vision of Wales Challenge

Many thanks for your contribution to the Challenge! Unfortunately, only one of the articles have been amended since 24th May; please have a quick look at the rules above the main table or here. We need a minimum of 2000 bytes before we can tick. I'm sorry things are not clear enough. I look forward to seeing you at the Challenge! It's good sometimes to have an international focus.

Wikipedia or Wikipedii

I used Google Translate and translated Wikipedia into Polish and it translated into Wikipedii. AmirMMMMM (talk) 21:41, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
