This is really great! Thanks to everyone involved. Will the statistics tables be updated soon? I want to get this updated with an accurate words per article figure:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_in_volumes
I expect the figure has changed a lot over the past 3.5 years, but I have no idea in what direction (hopefully upwards!), and that could significantly change the number of volumes. (Of course, it is a completely useless image, but it's fun!)
