I just want to keep a running tally of the numbers I have seen, and if you see a number not shown here when searching for site:wikipedia.org on Google, please post it. We are all hitting different datacenters so this will help in the monitoring

3/21: 2710000
3/21: 4170000
3/22: 4550000
3/22: 5170000
3/22: 2740000
3/23: 5440000
3/23: 6490000 (all above, me)
3/23: 7340000 (philipp)

this is unprecedented

I guess I won :)

Quit interesting:

If I search for english pages only it shows me 493,000 pages but the second result is http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A7%D7%98%D7%92%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94:%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%95%D7%92%D7%99%D7%94:_%D7%94%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94

which isn't english at all.

Seems that the language detection at google isn't that good.

2,760,000

3/23: 2730000
3/24: 5590000
3/24: 2760000

philipp is still the winner =0)

I decided to get scientific with this. I don't know if this is all of Gs datacenters, but you can see how much of a difference there is between them all. This sample taken at 12:11 PM CMT

I seriosly think that google should "buy" wikipedia, so that if googel wants to wave around wikipedia as there encyclopedia, (considering Microsofts Encarta on there searchy site) of course they wouldnt fire anybody in wikipedia, or lose its open source priveleges..but of course u ge twhat im saying

amazing to watch it level out
