- qayxc 6y agoI only use the sources available to me at the time. Another value published by Wikipedia is 30GiB [1] as of 2020, which includes punctuation and markup. I explicitly put the measurement unit as ASCII characters. If you have a better source for your size (remember: ASCII characters for article words only, no markup), feel free to post it.
