* As of 17 November 2021, [[Special:Statistics]] showed 4,000,129,529 words across 6,410,000 articles implying an average of '''624 words per article'''.
* As of 2021, 33,201 GB (=33,997,900,893 bytes) across four billion words, implying 8.3 [[byte]]s/word. ASCII uses 1 byte/character which in turn implies 8.3 characters/word. However, this includes wikimarkup, and 5 char/word plus one for space or punctuation mark is standard, so '''6 characters/word''' will be assumed.
* One volume: 25cm high, 5cm thick. 500 leaves, 2 page faces per leaf, 2 columns per page face, 80 rows/column, 50 characters per row. So one volume = {{nts|{{#expr:500*2*2*80*50}}}} characters, or {{nts|{{#expr:500*2*2*80*50/6 round 0}}}} words, or {{nts|{{#expr:500*2*2*80*50/(6*624.04)round 1}}}} articles. (Pictures not included!)
** Sanity check: ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]'' has 44 million words across 32 volumes, or 1,375,000 words per volume.
* There are currently {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, which means {{nts|{{#expr: {{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}*624.04}}}} words, which means {{nts|{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}*624.04*6}}}} characters.
* Thus, the text of the English Wikipedia is currently equivalent to '''{{nts|{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}*624.04*6/(500*2*2*80*50) round 1}}}} volumes''' of ''Encyclopædia Britannica.''
** In other words, Wikipedia is approximately '''{{nts|{{#expr:({{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}*624.04*6/(500*2*2*80*50))/32 round 2}}}} times the size''' of ''Encyclopædia Britannica''.
