The 1,2+ M articles on species generated by LsjBot from COL
(CatalogueOfLife) was completed in September 2014.
Now under way by Lsjbot is generation of geographic entities from
GeoNames [1]. Still being in an early phase and there is a lot to look
into like the links to Wikidata. A testrun has been for done for
entities on Samoa where the potential can be seen , [2]
I am very aware that the approach to botgenerated articles differs on
different language versions (I think in my last count I found it to be
practiced in volumes in around 15 language versions) . I also am very
aware that article count is not the best measurement of versions
substance content. But bot generation is one path in our common quest to
create free knowledge for all and it definitely generated real impact.

all of these will be generated and many of the entities already exist

Hi!
I just I noticed that Cebuano and Waray-waray Wikipedia are inside the list
of the 10 Wikipedias with more articles.[1] It seems it happened during
this weekend. Maybe in the case of Waray Wikipedia happened a little
before. Somebody knows when did it was exactly? Did I miss a thread
announcing this?
Waray-waray is now the 6th place and Cebuano has surpassed it.wiki and
es.wiki and gained the place number 8, mainly due to Lsjbot work.[2]
Definitely a milestone in Wikipedia and bots history.
