author =The Volapük Wikipedia (Vükiped) is the
Volapük version ofWikipedia . It was created in2004 and as ofJanuary 24 ,2008 , it has over 114,000 articles [ (Statistics of Volapük Wikipedia), retrieved January 24, 2008./] and is the Wikipedia in aconstructed language with the highest number of articles. In the summer of 2007 the Wikipedia saw rapid growth through automatic insertion of short articles on European municipalities and American towns by abot . It made a leap from around 5,000 articles at the beginning of June and reached 110,000 articles in September. Now, Volapük Wikipedia has many articles, though 93% of it are about cities [ [fullurl:vo:Special:Categories|offset=Z&limit=385 Klad:Zifs (Category:Cities)] has about 106,000 articles.] and they are very short. In addition, most of still are not written, e.g.Earth ,World War II , Napoleon I,Christianity ,Alphabet ,Bird ,Atom , etc.Volapük Wikipedia was criticised for its low depth of articles (currently 8 [ (depth for Volapük Wikipedia).] ) and using a bot for copy-pasting articles from other Wikipedias. [ (Talk page of VW sysop).] Responding to this, Sérgio Meira, the administrator and, at the time, the sole regular non-bot editor of the Volapük Wikipedia, wrote: "I thought I 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." [ (Talk page of VW sysop).]
Recently, a radical clean-up of Volapük Wikipedia and moving it to [http://incubator.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Incubator] was proposed. []
