That first chart really bugs me. You're showing us an apparent asymptote, a totally reasonable thing to do to prove your point.. but then I notice it's a log plot. That isn't showing us anything, number of seconds would make the same shape of plot.

- benmanns 14y agoNote the light green line under the blue growth rate line. The Size of Wikipedia article[0] says that this was the modeled growth rate as of 2010, which it only held to until 2011. This shows the danger of modeling existing data and extrapolating to the future. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia
- Jabbles 14y agoIt's still measuring number of articles, not, say, total word count. Do you have a graph of that too?
