* Source: [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/23/wiki_fiddlers_big_book/ Orlowski] at [[The Register]]. (Way back in 2004 - he also explains that Wikipedians are the only people reading Wikipedia - even then that was patently false.)
* Verdict: False then, and false now.
* Reason: Immanuel Kant at 122k is more than twice the size of [[Meme]] at 53k ([[memes]] has been a redirect since 2002) Moreover we have 34 pages in the category Immanuel Kant, not counting 29 pages on Kantianism and 49 pages on Kantian philosophers. Even in July 2004 Immanuel Kant was a longer article, if not by as large a ratio - and significantly many of the subsidiary articles existed. However, for a period of some weeks ending 9 June 2004, when a substantial chunk of text was deleted from the meme article, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meme&oldid=3999843 meme article] (19k prose size, 3,081 words) was indeed longer than the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Immanuel_Kant&oldid=4088905 Kant biography] (14k prose size, 2,222 words).
