• 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?
