Blog | Size of the English Wikipedia |
Thought this might be interesting to our readers—what with Jesse contributing so much good work on poets and movements in Wikipedia.
The above graphic, courtesy Nikola Smolenski, illustrates the physical size of the English edition of Wikipedia. Using volumes 25cm high and 5cm thick (some 400 pages), each page having two columns, each columns having 80 rows, and each row having 50 characters. Note that this is a conservative estimate, as it doesn’t include images, tables etc. which take up more surface than the text which describes them.
