Wikipedia:GLAM/Teylers/Multilingual Challenge

Results (June 2012) per language wikipedia
A table counting articles per participant per language shows the number of languages participants contribute in. For the complete list of articles created or changed, go here. Only six partipants created articles in more than one Wikipedia, and two created articles in three languages. As of writing (June 2012), the total list is compiled from the articles listed on the participants page. There may be more articles created by others who did not sign up. This total count, subtracted from the overall total (see "Article types" table below), gives an impression of article increase over time. The Teylers challenge created a 100% increase in article coverage (from roughly 300 to 600 articles total today).

Most translated articles in the challenge
Note that there are three articles that are counted twice by participants. This means the article was created in stub form and others decided to make a short article out of it (probably due to the popularity of the topic).

Page hits on article "Teylers Museum"
The overall page hits roughly doubled with the amount of articles and extension into other languages. The page hits on the "Teylers Museum" articles in the source Wikipedia's from a year ago are shown to give an indication of growth. These page hits were found with the stats.grok.se tool, with the comment that some combinations of numbers are present as the pages were renamed in the year of measurement (for example, on the English Wikpedia, the name was changed from "Teyler's Museum" to "Teylers Museum"). April was used as a baseline because the data seems to be missing for May.

The users who created the initial "Teylers Museum" pages need an extra thankyou, because they made the contest possible for their language Wikipedia. These people were Davidpar for the Catalan Wikipedia, Torsade de Pointes for the French Wikipedia, Thelmadatter for the Spanish Wikipedia (who signed up for the challenge but did not track her contributions), Ziko for the German and Esperanto Wikipedia's, Rago for the Italian Wikipedia (who did not even sign up for the challenge), and Lvova for the Russian Wikipedia.

Views per article in English Wikipedia category "Teylers Museum"
The following table shows page hits recorded by Magnus's Treeview tool using the category "Teylers Museum" for the first five months of the challenge January-May (there was a short extension to June 3). This table only shows the articles currently in this category with its subcategories (which includes society members). Where page hits occur before article creation, this indicates someone clicking on a redlink.
