Hiya

I have a question about wikipedia xml database dump. Apologies if this wasn't an appropriate place for asking a question.

On a wikipedia page, it's mentioned that the current number of articles in english is: 6,144,248

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

However when I count the number of page elements in recent dump (excluding redirects) it's about ~10 million

I was just wondering what would be the reason for this?

Thank you in advance
