"one of the largest international scientific projects ever conducted". C'mon. There are even more comprehensive publications in this specific area. Handbook of Statistics by Elsevier has some 20+ volumes. Tijfo098 (talk) 20:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Tijfo098, please try not to extract a part of the sentence when you want to prove something. With that strategy you can prove or disprove any premise or your initial hypothesis. It is clearly written that it is one of the largest international scientific projects ever conducted from the the number of involved countries, which is 105. In other words, it is not a comparison from the number of pages, or volumes. Speaking of your suggested title Handbook of Statistics, it is a great work, but the sheer number of participated countries is much smaller than 105.
