I don't know whether all the talk about stubs has had some effect, but over the past week the median article sized has stopped dropping. Date Median article size in bytes ---- ---------------------------- 8/15 1001 8/18 999 8/19 997 8/20 995 8/21 995 8/22 991 8/23 990 8/24 989 8/25 988 8/26 990 8/27 990 8/28 990 8/29 991 8/30 990 By the way, I love the new stats which have been posted in http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Statistics If we are too wedded to the current front page count to change it (i.e. if we don't want to drop back below 30,000 "articles" just after having broken 40,000) at least we could have the more conservative count generated and explained on some other page, e.g. [[Wikipedia:What is an article]].
