== Overview ==
Wikipedia has become one of the primary encyclopaedic information repositories on the World Wide Web. It started in 2001 with a single edition in the English language and has since expanded to more than 20 million articles in 283 languages. Criss-crossing between the [[Wikipedia]]s is an inter-language link network, connecting the articles of one edition of Wikipedia to another. Authors describe characteristics of articles covered by nearly all Wikipedias and those covered by only a single language edition, authors use the network to understand how authors can judge the similarity between Wikipedias based on concept coverage, and authors investigate the flow of translation between a selection of the larger Wikipedias. Authors findings indicate that the relationships between Wikipedia editions follow Tobler's first law of geography: similarity decreases with increasing distance. The number of articles in a Wikipedia edition is found to be the strongest predictor of similarity, while language similarity also appears to have an influence. The [[English Wikipedia]] edition is by far the primary source of translations. Authors discuss the impact of these results for Wikipedia as well as user-generated content communities in general.
