The whole entire system of Wikipedia is unsynchronized. As Jimbo Wales once said:
"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing." Slashdot posting
How can we say that everyone has access to all knowledge when almost a third of the wikis haven't even passed 1,000 articles? That means all of the people who speak those languages only have access to less than 1/3320 of the information we do. Eventually, we should have a large group of people working on verifying and translating information across the different language wikis. We should not be able to sort the wikis by article count.
