In August 2005 the Italian Wikipedia overtook the Spanish and Portuguese language editions, becoming the 8th largest edition by article count. The primary reason for the rapid leap from 56,000 to 64,000 articles was an automated bot which created stub articles on more than 8,000 municipalities of Spain in an operation dubbed "Comuni spagnoli". http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ultime_notizie http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject/Geografia/Antropica/Comuni_spagnoli

On September 8, the Italian Wikipedia overtook the Dutch Wikipedia and one day later, on September 9, it passed 100,000 articles. On September 11, it overtook the Swedish Wikipedia, becoming the fifth-largest language edition. Again, automated scripts contributed heavily to the growth. For instance, a bot created more than 35,000 articles on municipalities of France. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject/Geografia/Antropica/Comuni_francesi
