Articles created or improved during the Teylers Challenge 2012[edit]
This table shows 323 English equivalents of the titles of articles that were counted for the Teylers challenge in the 8 languages en/nl/ca/hu/de/fr/es/it. The second column offers language links to allow you to click through to the corresponding article in that language. In total, the number of articles represented by the list below is around 600 for all language wikipedias: en (203), nl (141), ca (103), hu (40), fr (36), es(19), it (19), de (17), ru (6), uk (6), fy (5), pt (4), eo (2)
For more information about how the challenge worked, see the Challenge page.
Note that the list of articles in all languages is much longer than the total list of articles on the participants page. This is because the list includes existing articles that were not changed during the competition; some people worked on articles during the challenge without signing up; and some people simply added missing links to articles without feeling this action worth mentioning on the participants page. Only about two thirds of these articles were counted during the competition in English, and the rest are redlinks or don't (yet?) link to Teylers. One of the lessons learned (see the challenge talk page) was a desire for future multilingual challenges to include a table like this from the start, to indicate popular articles across languages as a basis for inspiration and as confirmation to participants that the articles they create are available for review by other participants. Theoretically, the statistics of the WikiProject Teylers should deliver this information, but this only works for manually tagged articles on the English Wikipedia. As of writing, there is no tracking function for more than one language Wikipedia, which such a table represents.
Almost all articles that were counted link to Teylers Museum and Teylers societies, except for a few articles that were clearly made for the challenge but the link was forgotten or left out, such as nl:Abraham Teerlink. Obviously without such a link, the articles are hard to discover unless the participant listed it on the participants page.
