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 are two quality comparisons that I am aware of: I can only find one at the moment, though: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia_Quality_Survey
Also, for comparing wikipedia with britannica and encarta quantitatively, I have done the following:
