The first is a minor point, but it says a dab page is not an article. As far as I know, it is within the technical definition of "article", and numerically it is counted as an article.
I read somewhere or other (that I can't immediately locate) that actually the tech guys have gone to some trouble to exclude some classes of pages-IRC redirects and disambiguation pages were among them.
I thought I remembered the various page counts explained somewhere, but the explanation currently seems to be missing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics gives "Content pages" as 2,571,387, and "Pages*" as 14,761,735. Presumably the asterisk on "Pages*" is supposed to explain the difference, but there's no asterisk footnote anywhere on the page.
