Wikipedia is smaller than CZ. No, really.
Someone just pointed my attention to this page, which says that Wikipedia had 4.9 million words in January 2002 — slightly less than what we have now. And I still maintain that the comparison would be more meaningful to make next March (use your browser to search on the page for “3,200 articles after one year”). You might say that Wikipedia was growing faster at that point in its career — but then, we’re decidedly accelerating now, too, notwithstanding a Halloween lull just now.
Pretty cool.
