Idadi ya kurasa zote: 214,938 (pamoja na kurasa za watumiaji, majadiliano, msaada n.k.)
This total-page count is outdated. Swahili Wikipedia's official statistics page currently reports 214,957 total pages, not 214,938.
Full reasoning
This line gives a specific current count for all pages on Swahili Wikipedia, including user pages, talk pages, help pages, and similar namespaces.
The official Special:Statistics page for Swahili Wikipedia now lists 214,957 total pages ("Kurasa ... 214,957"). That contradicts the figure 214,938 shown here, so this number is no longer accurate.

Vimondo (pia: meteori au meteoridi) ni magimba madogo ya angani yanayozunguka jua.
This sentence incorrectly treats a meteor as the same thing as a meteoroid. A meteoroid is a small rocky object in space; a meteor is the streak of light produced when one enters an atmosphere.
Full reasoning
The problem is the phrase "pia: meteori au meteoridi", which presents meteor and meteoroid as synonyms for the same kind of object orbiting the Sun.
NASA draws a clear distinction between these terms:
- Meteoroids are small rocky objects that are still in space.
- Meteors are the bright streaks seen when meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up.
- Meteorites are objects that survive the atmosphere and reach the ground.
So a meteoroid can be described as a small body in space, but a meteor cannot. Calling a meteor a small object orbiting the Sun is incorrect because the meteor is the atmospheric light phenomenon, not the space object itself.

Meteoroids: These rocks still are in space. ... Meteors: When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere ... the fireballs or 'shooting stars' are called meteors. Meteorites: When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.
