1. Is there a graph or chart somewhere showing the
number of
wikipedia articles at different points in time?
There's the Webalizer
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/stats/), but that's only how
many people access the website. There's also
[[Wikipedia:Awareness statistics]], but that's still
not number of articles.
Oh, here it is. There's a graph at [[Wikipedia:Size of
Wikipedia]], but it hasn't been updated since last
November. There's data up to today, though. Here's the
picture itself:

2. Some time ago, I saw where someone had done a
comparison of
Britannica versus Wikipedia articles, some 200
articles compared as I
recall. Where is that? How old is it? Have there
been other
comparisons done?
I'm not sure what you mean, but there's always the
making fun of Britannica thing at the meta:
[[m:Making_fun_of_Britannica]].
3. If you're a prominent Wikipedian in the San
Francisco area who
would be interested in being interviewed, please
email me and let me
know your contact info so I can pass it along.
