Hi Ziko. Standard of article in pl wiki is 1,5 kb (in 2008)

http://tools.wikimedia.pl/~warx/dnb/index.xml

500k is nothing for us, but is good event for PR and only it. If we have good PR we have more new users. I can't see "count obsession" in pl wiki. I se other obsessions - copyvio, POV, vandals, trolls, lack of sources etc. Users in pl wiki know how others look at them. Believe me, we try be better, but our community is not huge.

Main space or all database? We don't like many edits per article in short time. Look at

http://stats.wikimedia.org/PL/TablesWikipediaArticleEditsPL.htm

http://stats.wikimedia.org/PL/TablesWikipediaArticleEditsEN.htm

http://stats.wikimedia.org/PL/TablesWikipediaArticleEditsES.htm

http://stats.wikimedia.org/PL/TablesWikipediaArticleEditsRU.htm

http://stats.wikimedia.org/PL/TablesWikipediaArticleEditsFR.htm

If any (meta)page is huge, we do everything to reduce its growth of size. So, often we create more subpages.

But - some days ago we talk on IRc with Japanese wikipedians about comparisions of wikipedias - not only about "count of..." and quality. Wee need to know more about our projects.

regards

Przykuta
