[edit] Summary
| Description | Size of English Wikipedia in August 2007.
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 7.5 GB of text (August 2007, length of wikitext counted by myself) ≈ 1250 volumes. 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. |
