Wikiversity vote started

The Wikiversity project, which currently resides on Wikibooks, has started a vote to move to wikiversity.org, which currently hosts a near-dormant German Wikiversity project. The vote will last until 1 November.

Briefly

The Polish Wikipedia has reached 100,000 articles.
The Greek Wikipedia now has over 1,000 registered users.
The Indonesian Wikipedia has reached 13,000 articles with Triskaidekafobia (fear of the number 13).
The Slovak Wikipedia has reached 15,000 articles.
The new Yahoo!-hosted server farm in Seoul [yaseo] is now in the process of being commissioned by Wikimedia's tireless developer team. [1] When up and running, the Seoul system will be the Wikimedia Foundation's fourth active server farm, adding to the current server farms in Tampa, Paris, and Amsterdam.
- The first Squid servers in Seoul are now live, and serving traffic to several Asian countries. [2].
