claims of unprecedented contributions removed

I have remove dthe following paragraph from the article, because it is unfounded:

<quote> The founder of Marefa, Nayel Shafei, was, by far, the largest contributor to Arabic Wikipedia in number of articles created from scratch, imported articles, and size of content.^[1] After what he describes as a takeover of the Arabic Wikipedia, he stopped contributing to it, and formed Marefa. Thirty months after he left Arabic Wikipedia, and despite of frenetic campaign of erasing his name and many of his articles, he is still one of the largest contributors to it, if not the largest. </quote>
