Summary
DescriptionSize of English Wikipedia in August 2010 (L).svg
Size of English Wikipedia in August 2010. Using volumes 25 cm high and 5 cm thick (some 400 pages), each page having two columns, each columns having 80 rows, and each row having 50 characters, ≈ 6 MB per volume. As English Wikipedia has around 15887 MB of text (August 2010) ≈ 2647 volumes (2646 in illustration). 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. The grid has 1x1 meter squares, and the person should be 180 centimeters tall. It is actually the male silhouette from the Pioneer plaques.
