You probably mistakenly used pl.wikipedia.com as an address for Polish wikipedia.
Polish wikipedia is temporarily on wiki.rozeta.com.pl, what is explained on
pl.wikipedia.com (explained in Polish at least)

There are 895 articles on Polish Wikipedia, we are the second greatest
national wikipedia and are going to keep it that way.

I made a similar count a week ago, but searched for "," (a comma),
since I think this is how we count articles ("comma pages", see also
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia_statistics/Size_of_Wikipedia).

My count (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Non-English_Wikipedias) says:

German     - 1209
Polish     -  564 (http://wiki.rozeta.com.pl/)
Spanish    -  318
Dutch      -  287
Esperanto  -  216
Portuguese -  197
Swedish    -   99
French     -   55

My own Swedish wiki (http://susning.nu/) has 2800 comma pages (4200
pages total), which makes it twice as big as the German Wikipedia.

Perhaps we need a new way of counting, e.g. the number of articles
that are longer than one kilobyte, or something.  The current count of
"comma pages" might inspire people to write many, very short pages.

[Intlwiki-l] international wikipedia on meta

Today I added an International Wikipedia title header
on meta.wikipedia.com so we can discuss International
Wikipedia issues in wiki format instead of the mailing
list if you want.  I just added a new rant I had about
the Final Solution in Wikipedia Interlinking if you're
interested.

[Intlwiki-l] 7 January 2002 on Polish Wikipedia

That's almost unbelievable, but 7 January 2002 (local time, it ended half hour ago),
90 articles, mostly new, were edited on Polish Wikipedia, and 182 major edits were made.
That is amount of contribution that nobody expected to happen in any forseeable future.

That's great, you are now above 1000 articles (720 "comma pages")!
Congratulations!  This means I will have to implement "translation
links" from my Swedish wiki site (susning.nu) to the Polish Wikipedia,
just like I have already done for English and German.  The biggest
problem is, I don't know any Polish (I'll have to learn), and I guess
your character set might also cause problems (in some cases).

Well, the first pages to test these new links are:

http://susning.nu/Alkohol
http://susning.nu/Andorra
http://susning.nu/Biologi
http://susning.nu/Dator
http://susning.nu/Estland
http://susning.nu/Frankrike
http://susning.nu/Fysik

This is great.  It's as a result of a Polish news article primarily about
the English language Wikipedia that also referenced
http://pl.wikipedia.com --which now diverts traffic to a project that is
calling itself the Polish Wikipedia.  We've been satisfied with this as a
temporary situation, but I have to say, I am puzzled about what the delay
has been in moving the project to the Wikipedia server.  Has it been on
our end or on yours?  I suspect it's a combination of the two.  Jason
Richey (and Jimmy Wales) to see to it that the project is moved to
pl.wikipedia.com.  If we cannot make this happen, you're going to have to
stop using the "Wikipedia" name.  I really think that it is your
responsibility--i.e., you who are developing the project on
rozeta.com.pl--to see to it that this happens, not ours.  We are greatly
overworked, and we need your active help and interest in seeing this
through.

Again, it is highly inappropriate that you are continuing to benefit from
the name and association with Wikipedia, and you are not making any
serious effort to move yourself to the Wikipedia server.  Let's see if we

I seriously doubt it is result of any article.
I should ask Slawojar, as I don't remember if he contributed before,
but all other contributors on 7 January were old Wikipedians.
