Articles only make up 25% of the English Wikipedia.
Actually, I just requested a run against the database on Toolserver. 48% of entries in the dataset are in the main namespace
I was defining "article" in the same way [[Special:Statistics]] does.

Ah... when we attempted apply that metric (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_an_article) to all the namespaces the numbers did change dramaticaly. Main namespace articles dropped to 33%, and article talk pages climbed to 16%. So then the articles *do* drop below 50% of the content.
