Out of curiosity, how many pages would it take to package the English Wikipedia?

Out of curiosity, how many pages would it take to package the English Wikipedia? ----- Original Message ---- From: David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 10:03:12 AM Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Bertelsmann publishes "Wikipedia Encyclopedia in One Volume" On 23/04/2008, Andre Engels <andreengels(a)gmail.com> wrote: A well-formed English Wikipedia article - and evidently a German Wikipedia one too - should have a lead summary section that constitutes an informative short article in itself, and be written as an inverted pyramid. The first sentence should be informative and standalone, the first paragraph should be informative and standalone, the intro as a unit should be informative and standalone. See [[:en:WP:LEAD]]. So it's not as good as having the whole thing right there, but it supplies more information than none for someone who wants the ten-second summary. A book of those could be quite useful. And it comes with a free website you can go to for expanded versions once you know you want one ;-) - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
