Wikipedia talk:Milestone statistics

message: On 29 March 2015, all Wikipedias (and most other individual-langauge Wikimedia content wikis) had their on-wiki article counts recalculated. Many of them saw significant article-count changes (some decreasing as much as 50% or 60%). I have demoted the relevant Wikipedias in this table using the date 29 March 2015. See m:Talk:Wikimedia News#March 29th demotions for my reasoning (and m:Wikimedia News#March 2015 for more information). - dcljr (talk) 02:11, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

message: The next milestone is ten million articles. It looks to be about three to five years away. I can live with that. But after that, the next milestones are twenty and fifty million. Beyond that, the milestones start becoming decades, if not centuries, apart. Are we supposed to continue the logarithmic scale used so far here that far or can we find an easier solution? Personally, I'm not sure I'll live long enough for Wikipedia to see fifty million. JIP | Talk 20:57, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Easier solution to what? Just because certain wikis will spend more time at certain levels, is that a problem in need of a solution? (I don't think so.) I think a more relevant issue would be if wikis are "piling up" at the higher milestone levels. If, say, 15 wikis all reach 5M articles before any of them reach 10M, that may be a "problem" worth solving. But I don't think that's gonna happen. The log-like scale seems to be working pretty well to keep the wikis nicely distributed across the different levels. - dcljr (talk) 05:33, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Lee Hsien Loong

message: Hello , I have reverted your edits to include the posts of Chairman/Deputy Chairman in the infobox. Here's my reason:
Part of my motivation is to remove infobox cruft, where the multitude of posts held by our ministers only add to the clutter, which reduces readability for the average reader. Deputy posts are also mostly insignificant in most non-ministerial posts.
In addition, neither post is significant compared to their ministerial posts, which should be featured with greater prominence. Even then, inclusion of the prime minister field would be wrong as the People's Association is not part of the government apparatus and implies that the post's chain of command is decided by the government's chain of command.
