Australia related articles as a proportion of total Wikipedia articles, by month.

As at today, 14 June 2008, the total number of articles in the English Wikipedia is 2,412,200. About 1 in every 54 articles are Australia related.

Note that systematic and wide scale tagging of Australia related articles did not start until early 2007. Percentages before then are less meaningful, and included here for interest rather than comparative purposes.
