[Wikipedia-l] Re: article definition / median article size

I feel fairly strongly that too many stubs are counted as articles, but
I suppose people have different opinions, and I may be in the minority.
 That's neither here nor there.

What would be non-controversial and extremely informative is to post
the median article size in the site statistics.  No matter how we
define articles and/or automatically count them, it would be great to
have another sentence after 

"[blah blah] there are 37887 pages that are probably legitimate
articles"

which would say

"The median size of those 37887 articles is 997 bytes."

How difficult would this be to implement?  I, for one, would be quite
curious to know if the median article size is going up or down.

Peace,
