Size of Wikipedia diagram

Hello Slashme,

You have updated File:SizeEnglishWikipedia.png on Wikipedia.

Is it a representation of Size of all Wikipedia, or a representation of Size of English Wikipedia ?

I don't uderstand, because File:SizeEnglishWikipedia.png says "5540 Volumes", Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia#Hard_copy_size says "1771 volumes", and meta:Wikipedia as books says "8486 volumes".

Regards

Hi Juanes,

The meta:Wikipedia as books is for all articles: it's based on meta:Template:NumberOfWikipediaArticles, which is the total number of Wikipedia articles in all languages. File:SizeEnglishWikipedia.png is out of date and incorrect: The actual size shown in the picture was correct when it was created, but I clearly forgot to update the number when I corrected the number of volumes. I don't have time to fix it now, so I'll tag it as incorrect. Thanks for pointing out the error! Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia#Hard_copy_size is correct and up to date. (Edit: Votre Anglais et mieux de mon Français!)

Thanks your for replying,

I have corrected the problem in File:SizeEnglishWikipedia.png (it was hard !). Now, is it ok ?

I don't uderstand why in Wikipedia:Size in volumes there is the template {{update}}. If there is {{update}} in Wikipedia:Size in volumes, why there isn't in User:Tompw/bookshelf ?

Regards

Wow, you did some hard work here, but I agree that it looks correct now! I think the reason that Tompw doesn't have a template on his page is that it really is his page: it's under his user space. --Slashme (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot ! I'm very pleased with your recognition ! I have had some difficulties because I was a little problem with my screenshot software

Could you tell me if my modifications in the fallowing link is good ? http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_in_figures_-_Wikipedia&diff=5367981&oldid=5355473

Oops, I didn't notice this question before! I see someone has already improved the wording, and it looks fine now. --Slashme (talk) 11:14, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Milestone statistics

I've reverted your edit to Wikipedia:Milestone statistics. The people who maintain this table (including me) have chosen not to track as many milestones as the table at Meta (some relevant discussion can be seen in Wikipedia talk:Milestone statistics/Archive). If you'd like to lobby for doing things differently, please bring it up on the talk page. I help to maintain both tables and can vouch for the fact that the table here at Wikipedia is just as correct as the one at Meta, it just doesn't contain as many levels. - dcljr (talk) 02:55, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for alerting me to your reversion,

I don't udesrtand why you don't have a update of Wikipedia:Milestone statistics. Your numbers are very old, and I don't see the interest to have numbers very old. Now, there is 4,000,000 articles in English, no 2,000,000 !

But, if you think have numbers very old is good, it's your choice.

Regards

The English Wikipedia has passed 2 million articles but has not reached 5 million, which is the next milestone in the table (all levels are a power of ten times 1, 2, or 5). The table doesn't need updating in the same way the Meta table doesn't need updating just because the English Wikipedia is above 4,200,000 and not 4,000,000. Each table has its own set of milestone levels that is uses. They are both up to date for the levels they contain. - dcljr (talk) 21:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for replying. I know the problem.

It was a mistake, because I thought Wikipedia:Milestone statistics was out of date, as fr:Modèle:Statistiques des Wikipédias (see also http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mod%C3%A8le:Statistiques_des_Wikip%C3%A9dias&action=history). --Juanes852 (talk) 13:53, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.
