Found this cartoon from MBA Rankings on Huffington Post today. While it is not surprising that sex is the most sought after entry on Wikipedia, nor that the French seem to have less interest in reading about sex than . . . , but somewhat surprised that the Dutch Wikipedia has more articles than the Spanish version, despite that there are 2 times more Spaniards than cheese heads. Of course, blaming the climate for this discrepancy leaves one with the problem explaining why the Portuguese version has roughly the same number of articles as the Spanish and the Dutch versions (see table below cartoon for today's updated Wikipedia tally).
