Most requested missing articles, main namespace

This and following tables combined contain at most 500 titles, out of max 3000 top titles reviewed

Caveat: a very simplistic language independent test is used to detect namespace 0 titles:
all article titles which contain a colon are omitted.
A few titles in namespace 0 do actually contain a colon. These titles will show up in next table.
Also not supported: wikis which count other namespaces than 0 as 'content'.

This table is dedicated to wikimedian GerardM who asked for this for many years.
