Description
English: 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 (2660 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.
Français : Équivalent en volume papier qu'avait la Wikipédia en anglais en août 2010. Chaque volume comprend environ 400 pages de texte réparti sur deux colonnes, chaque colonne étant composée de 80 rangées qui comprennent 50 caractères. Chaque volume compte donc à peu près 6 millions de caractères. Puisque la Wikipédia en anglais comprend environ 15 887 millions de caractères au mois d'août 2010, une division donne environ 2 647 volumes (l'illustration comprend 2 660 volumes).

Il s'agit d'une estimation pessimiste, puisque les tableaux, les illustrations et d'autres éléments dans les articles ne sont pas comptés.

Chaque carré de l'illustration, au nombre de 48, mesure 1x1 mètre carré et la hauteur de la personne est de 180 cm.
