1. Is there a graph or chart somewhere showing the number of wikipedia articles at different points in time?
2. Some time ago, I saw where someone had done a comparison of Britannica versus Wikipedia articles, some 200 articles compared as I recall. Where is that? How old is it? Have there been other comparisons done?
3. If you're a prominent Wikipedian in the San Francisco area who would be interested in being interviewed, please email me and let me know your contact info so I can pass it along.

There's the Webalizer (http://en.wikipedia.org/stats/), but that's only how many people access the website. There's also [[Wikipedia:Awareness statistics]], but that's still not number of articles.
Oh, here it is. There's a graph at [[Wikipedia:Size of Wikipedia]], but it hasn't been updated since last November. There's data up to today, though. Here's the picture itself: [[Image:English_language_wikipedia_article_count_jan_2001_-_nov_2003.png]] .

I'm not sure what you mean, but there's always the making fun of Britannica thing at the meta: [[m:Making_fun_of_Britannica]].
