message: I have trouble telling what those languages are (what is ja, for example?), and it should say (thousands of articles) on the y-axis.

message: According to this graph, the number of articles in the english wikipedia was growing rapidly until February of 2006.  At the time, new articles seems to drop off completely, with almost no new articles being created.  
Is this graph accurate, or is there some sort of artifact that explains the oddity in the graph.  If the graph is correct, what explains the sudden drop-off in new articles?? -Alecmconroy 10:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The toolserver for some Wikipedias has failed in some areas - I think this may be part of the problem.  Also, does anyone know what happened on en-wiki in September 2002?  Thanks, Zapptastic (talk) 19:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This graph draws its information from (circuitously) this, which in turn draws its information from corrupt Wikipedia dumps. According to that page, "Since a year it has become increasingly difficult to produce valid dumps for the largest wikipedias. Until that problem is fixed some figures will be outdated." User:Erik Zachte may be the only one who can fix this problem, and he appears to be well aware of the problem. His most recent comment on the subject -kotra 21:25, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
