A more colorful version of this page, with some analysis, is available at Wikipedia Review.

The en.wiki stats were compiled on the 11th of June, 2017, the fr.wiki states on the 15th of June. Things may have changed since then.

Many of the differences are predictable, though French-speaking African countries generally seem to have larger pages (at least relatively speaking) than their English speaking counterparts do on en.wiki.

Are the size of Poland, Pakistan, & Israel on en.wiki all due to a certain amount of interest from those who have emigrated?
