Rundown
- 100 x 5,000
- After Wikipedia reached 10,000,000 global articles on March 27 (see archived story), the Kapampangan Wikipedia became the 100th Wikipedia to reach 5,000 articles on April 2.
- Showing the growth of smaller-language Wikipedias, the 100th Wikipedia to reach 100 articles was the Nahuatl Wikipedia in June 2005 (see archived story); June 2006 saw the 100th to reach 1,000 articles, the Venetian Wikipedia (see archived story). In April 2006, about 73.4% of existing articles were located on the Top 10 Wikipedias; since then, only 59.4% of the new articles created over the last two years were on Top 10 Wikipedias.

- Your idea that reviewer status should be given to all editors defeats the entire purpose of the reviewing system. How would a completely open reviewing system insure that certain Wikipedia content is actually reliable? Articles marked as reviewed would have no more editorial safeguards than the articles we have now. You would just have to trust whoever was the last person to have reviewed the article (which could easily be a vandal). It would basically just give vandals a new way of committing vandalism. Stop worshipping the “anyone can edit” mantra and think seriously about how we can use these tools to make Wikipedia a reliable resource.
