Could you tell me, or tell me how to find, the following:
the date of the first infobox on wikipedia?
the rate of increase in infoboxes, or at least the number of infoboxes

One very interesting Citizendium statistic is the median article
length in words. It has been reducing by about 6 words a month for

The reason for this is that a seven-day discussion is more likely to
get the right answer in the case of seemingly obvious hoaxes that
are in fact true, but with reliable sources that it takes time to look

I was hoping Wiktionary had something, but haven't found it yet.

Phys Org reports that the Online Encyclopedia of Life has reached 150,000
species.
Impressive number.
There are 128,000 articles on WP with a Taxobox template; this includes

Google hit apparently gives it a large boost in

Would there be any workable way to create a big (huge?) Missing

various non-English language articles still not translated

A short introduction: let's say that two articles are connected if there
