Statistics
As of April 2012, The Estonian Wikipedia has the 3rd greatest number of articles per speaker among Wikipedias with over 90,000 articles, and ranks 10th overall.[3] These figures were based on Ethnologue's estimate of 1,048,660 Estonian speakers.
The Estonian Wikipedia will be the 41st edition of Wikipedia to reach the milestone of 100,000 articles and the third edition in a Uralic language to do so, after Finnish and Hungarian[4]
As of April 2012, the Estonian Wikipedia's number of articles accounts for approximately 23% of all the articles written in a Finno-Permic language, making it the second largest edition in the family after Finnish, which accounts for over 70% of Finno-Permic articles.[5]
The Estonian Wikipedia has the highest percentage of administrators per regular users (over 7%) compared to the Finnish Wikipedia, where only 2.5% of users are administrators.[6] As of April 2012, there the Estonian Wikipedia has 487 active contributors and 36 administrators.[6]
The vast majority of its edits originate from Estonia, while a minority of contributions originate from neighboring Finland and Latvia, which account for most of the remaining share of editors. Curiously, as much as 1.2% of edits to the Estonian Wikipedia were made from Japan.
