the question, since there isn't recent data. To be
more precise, at average 5
bytes per word, I'd be interested in whether a median 400 words (2K
therefore),
or 500 words, is more plausible. The extrapolation
would suggest the former,
but the figure is going to be pulled down by disambiguation pages
that are only
technically articles.
Hmm. 5 letters per word is one thing, but 5 bytes per word? Seems like
it will be skewed by wikitext syntax (tables and templates in
particular)...
