Oops, this was meant to go to the mailing lists (why are we all
posting to multiple lists? shouldn't we just pick one?), so
forwarding!

This is really great! Thanks to everyone involved. Will the statistics
tables be updated soon? I want to get this updated with an accurate
words per article figure:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_in_volumes

I expect the figure has changed a lot over the past 3.5 years, but I
have no idea in what direction (hopefully upwards!), and that could
significantly change the number of volumes. (Of course, it is a
completely useless image, but it's fun!)
