I am wondering what is the fastest/best way to get a local dump of

The Kiwix project provides HTML dumps of Wikipedia for offline reading:

In case you need pure HTML and not the ZIM file format, you could check
out mwoffliner[1], ...
Note that the HTML is (of course) is not the same as the one you see
when visiting Wikipedia. For example, the side bar links are not present
here, the ToC would not be present.

Sivaraam?
You possibly might have noticed that my signature recently changed from
'Kaartic' to 'Sivaraam' both of which are parts of my name. I find the
new signature to be better for several reasons one of which is that the
former signature has a lot of ambiguities in the place I live as it is a
common name (NOTE: it's not a common spelling, just a common name). So,
I switched signatures before it's too late.
That said, I won't mind you calling me 'Kaartic' if you like it [of
course ;-)]. You can always call me using either of the names.
KIND NOTE TO THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER:
As I'm not a native English speaker myself, there might be mistaeks in
my usage of English. I apologise for any mistakes that I make.
It would be "helpful" if you take the time to point out the mistakes.
It would be "super helpful" if you could provide suggestions about how
to correct those mistakes.
Thanks in advance!
