Nine languages???

I think you'll find that it is 188 languages (with at least 1 article).

Nine languages

I already talked to Daniel about that. The number I gave him is 110, which is the number of "active" languages per Wikipedia's own article about itself. There are over 200 language editions, but many of them are inactive, having either very few edits, or are currently locked due to lack of activity. Some may eventually be deleted.

Some may eventually be deleted.

The Wikipedia article...

... therefore, becomes an art. Besides talking about Wikipedia, the article at the same time demonstrated Wikipedia. Published, the article will be read. In context, it is an example of the article's topic at work.

Beautiful, isn't it?

But don't do it again. The novelty of this article is worth its value.

How fast were errors corrected?

The one fact I can't find is how fast the errors were corrected. One site says "in minutes." Another in two days.... And how many errors were there? I don't want to wait till the Nov. Esquire to find out.... In fact, I can't. I'm writing an article on wikis and the deadline is dead ahead....

The Philosophy of Laziness is in question here...

Ah, someone who figured out that the wikipedia has it's own timestamps built in. Good for you.

If you want to build a house, just build a house? ********. Ask before you look/do is probably not such a bad idea. :D
