link?
It should be in the dead-tree US edition.
The Graph in the original article seems to be corrected as of today:

It still states:
"And after the furore over the biographical entry last year, Wikipedia
changed its rules so that only registered users can edit existing
entries, and new contributors must wait a few days before they can
start new ones."

That's not the only problem. They are also using a very misleading
article count- we don't have three million. We only have 3M if one
counts every last entry and redirect as an article.
You seem to be laboring under the delusion that nothing exists outside
the English Wikipedia. That kind of attitude gets us a very bad
reputation in the Wikipedia community's other languages. If you read the
article, you will find that the article count there (2.6 million) is
explicitly described as covering 120 languages.

It's still wrong then; to my withered and weary eyes, if you follow
the article line to the top where it ends, it is vastly closer to 3M
than 2.6M.
