Ĝangalo (http://www.gxangalo.com/), the largest Esperanto-language web portal, has an article about Wikipedia (http://gxangalo.com/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=65).
A crude estimate shows that the English-language Wikipedia now has approximately 72,000 non-gazeteer articles. Using the earlier estimated article average of 332 words, the English-language Wikipedia's size can be estimated as approximately 23.9 million words, roughly half the size of the Encyclopedia Britannica's 2002 edition. Can anyone give a more accurate size estimate?
