It seems obvious to me that this list becomes useless once all of the entries on it have been created by a certain wikipedia, and hence, that it is hardly of any consequence for the larger wikipedias, such as the English one.
The whole list has grown to 1070: nothing serious yet, but a sure sign that the true challenge of a list of this kind is not coming up with the 1000 topics that every wikipedia should have, but coming up with the 1000 topics that every wikipedia should have.
