In Page Views Per Wikipedia Language - Breakdown I also notice something that should affect chapter relations: there are some Wikipedias which are read from foreign countries more than from the country of origin (probably b/c readers from diaspora is richer and has better Internet access). For example, Macedonian Wikipedia is read more from Slovenia or Germany than from Macedonia: Macedonian (mk) (0.02% share of global total) Slovenia 30.6% Germany 23.7% Macedonia 23.3% It would therefore make sense for WMDE to try to reach Macedonians living in Germany, and for future WMMK to help them in doing so. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
