# 29 March 2012. I counted 63 blue links in 'Kisielinski-Korzelinski'. 'Olbrycht-Pawleta' - 70; 'Ebenberger-Gembicki' - 50. No change. This time I decided to repeat the first sample.

# 26 August 2012. 'Jesionowski-Kisielewski': 72. 'Skowron-Spiczakow': 38. 'Biergel-Bzowski': 59. ~6% still seems to be the rough estimate. Repeated second sample. Individual samples seems to suggest rough doubling within their populations.

# 13 February 2013 'Biergel-Bzowski': 58, 'Hoser-Jerzykowski': 66, 'Majnert-Michiels': 72. ~6.5%?

Updated conclusion (as of February '11): It appears that Wikipedia is growing faster in some other areas than in Polish biographies. Wikipedia coverage of Polish biographies have doubled between June '06 and December '10, but its total number of articles has grown almost threefold in that period (well, around 2.6 times). If we were to take June '09 or Dec '10 numbers and try to estimate the size of complete Wikipedia, we would get the number of ~60 million instead of 40, as the June '06 data would suggest. Of course, as the growth in Polish biographies have not kept pace with the growth of Wikipedia, it is obvious that it is hardly a perfect estimator. Assuming it is some kind of an estimator, we might as well take an average of those two results and call the ultimate, comprehensive size 50 million.
