Content Gap edit

 
Page views of each Wikipedia language version, by country, in the Middle East and North Africa (2009/2010).

As part of Wikimedia Levant's vision and objectives, bridging content gaps is a particular priority. The four countries of the Levant share a mediocre level of economy and income (ranking within the range of #78 to #118, globally), which, consequently, places them as part of the Global South and of Wikimedia's emerging communities. This does not reflect well on the corresponding content of the region on Wikimedia Projects: for example, English Wikipedia has over 60,000 pages under the label "Switzerland", a country populated by eight million people, but only 6,000 entries under "Jordan", (a country with slightly higher population and a similar land area).
