blogger comments on Volapuk Wikipedia

by Rick Harrison <rick@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 15, 2007 at 06:10 PM

You can see the original blog at http://tinyurl.com/3dbppx

A blogger noticed the large number of articles in the Volapuk Wikipedia
and decided to find out what Volapuk is, and how it got so many
articles. His/her conclusion:

"The administrator of the Volapük Wikipedia thought that he `could try
to get some new people interested in learning the language and
contributing by doing something a little crazy -- like increasing the
size of the Volapük wikipedia as fast as I could, with Python programs
for copying and pasting information onto pre-translated templates'..." 

"...the strategy to increase exponentially the amount of Wikipedia
articles in Volapük proves once again the ease with which information
can be manipulated there..."
