It's sonice to see that French and Germanare always on Top 5 proving that these 2 are more useful than a language claiming to have numerous speakers but they don't transmit information and all they is receive and fail to apply them correctly for progress.

The reason the Spanish participation is not so good is because they are too busy participating in actual academic publications rather than wasting time on dirty Wikipedia. Wikipedia is below them.

The French Troll attacks again. Why do you have to do that? Why do you always attack? And now you are going to say that Hispanic or Spaniard started. May be I should start to be a German Troll. I really think YOU, not the French people, has a big problem.

I think in the future Chinese will be in the Top 5, and Spanish. But one curious thing, Japanese articles are reducing, even articles which are written in English by Japanesse. Why happends this?

Another point is: What is the relationship between Internet and the Society?

According to:

http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm

German is the 6th language in Internet but there are more articles than Japanese, French, Spanish, Chinesse. Could this be because German Society use more internet the others? ( In %)

Another questions is, Which countries use more Internet? Everybody Knows China is the first with 200,000,000. (But the Goverment probably don't allow them use Wilkimedia, for that reason there are not a lot of articles). And what kind of information people research in internet?

I also notice Japanese activity on Youtube in a simular manner. Japanese are not shy to post videos, but almost always they recieve English comments, except for Japanese music and other obscure corners about Japanese culture.

When it's about World War II, the original version of Godzilla or even some trivial (but popular) kitty videos, people talk English, for non-Japanese are attracted to it and Japanese watch, but rarely respond at all.
I know Japanese are shy to talk English while abroad, but online they seem to be so for their native Japanese as well in the presence of foreigners. I dunno why.

Does Japan have another video hosting medium apart from Youtube? Like the French have dailymotion for instance?

Parece que el número de artículos de los distintos idiomas en Wikipedia tiene más tongo que el concurso Miss España. A mí siempre me extrañó que el portugués tuviera más artículos que el español, cuando por lógica tendría que ser al revés. En realidad incluso un idioma menor como el catalán podría tener cientos de miles de artículos en la Wikipedia , basta con que un robot informático vaya abriendo artículos de forma automática, por ejemplo tomando la lista de municipios de los distintos países. Sin embargo si se mira la calidad y la participación real, el español está entre las tres o cuatro lenguas más importantes de la Wikipedia, como no podría ser de otra manera.

And what kind of information (Chinese) people research in internet?

*********************************************************

i have lived in China for the last 6 years.

obviously, the Chinese live in a world of their own, they have their own Wiki (hoodong.com), their own youtube (tudou.com) and their own Google (Baidu.com), pretty much everything is localized for their own good.

Most chinese internent users prefer using web stuff in chinese.

In fact there're a lot of exceptions, for example, we use Wiki, not hoodong, and we watch Youtube, not tudou, and we like Google, and not baidu, we're living in an international space in China. So, perhaps you had been living in an undeveloped area for the last 6 years in CHINA, I'm afraid so.

can you access Wikipeida in the last two year?

I visited WIKI through PROXY.

no commets...

Considering many people don't even know what a proxy is I doubt that these sites can be as popular in China as in the rest of the World. Chinese has a lot of potential, but the Chinese government must allow people use it freely on the Internet.

<< The reason the Spanish participation is not so good is because they are too busy participating in actual academic publications >>

-- C'est possible après tout.
Mais sur Antimoon, les contributions hispaniques se font rarement remarquer par leur qualité académique. Plutôt par leur spammage répétitif et haineux anti-français.
L'image de la culture espagnole n'en sort pas grandie, avouons-le.

The reason the Spanish participation is not so good is because they are too busy participating in actual entertainment and gossip publications rather than wasting time on informative Wikipedia.

And when they do participate in Wikipedia, they uploaded misinformation glorifying the Spansih language that they even uploaded a map that indicates that Spanish is second in Canada not French and first in the US not English. So pathetic that the Wikipedia administraors allow this because they themselves are hispanics.
