      <![CDATA[Do not forget that catalan Wikipedia was the only non english wikipedia with articles for over two months, and that was in March 2001! <br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Wikipedia">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Wik&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
Here is a message from Jimmy Walles showing interest in creating wikipedias in other languages, with special mention to Catalan:<br />
<a href="http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2001-March/000048.html">http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wik&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
Here you can see the evolution of the different wikipedias at the very beginning:<br />

      <![CDATA[Polish 4th in total entries? Dutch 5th, ahead of Spanish? That’s way more impressive.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the Catalan propaganda though. Yes, we know Spain would never have won the 2008 European soccer championships nor made it to the finals of men’s Olympic basketball tournament without the genius of their Catalan players, and Picasso never would’ve become a great artist if he hadn’t lived in Barcelona, blah blah blah. <br />
<br />
In the per head count, Catalans are behind the Basques—2nd best in northern Spain. Must take some doing. <br />
