Datasets:
Recent Wiki Articles - No articles found for some languages
Hey Omar, I am working on a research project where I am extracting Wikipedia articles that were created after the cutoff date of an LLM and I found your dataset very useful.
For now, I looked at some 80 languages and extracted the articles from the dataset that were more recent than 31st August 2025. But it seems that some languages don't have articles created after this date in your dataset. For example, I did not find any recent articles for Italian, Finnish and Norwegian, languages where I would expect new articles regularly. I should say that I did not explore the whole dataset (it would take too much time for the creation date extraction) but for the other languages, the newest articles were in the last shard, so I only explored this in my code. But I had a look at the Data Viewer for Italian and the highest ID is for an article from 2019. Could you have a look and tell me if there are no recent articles or if I just missed them somehow?
The full language list, where I did not find any recent articles is: it, az, fi, eu, hy, sco, ro, hr, fa, bs, no, ceb
I was also wondering if it would be possible to add a column to the dataset with the creation date / 1st revision of the articles?
I am looking forward to your response and hope that you can help or at least have an explanation for my problem.
