People talk about how unreliable Wikipedia is. I know from first hand experience how foolish I looked when I tried to talk about metaphysics with a philosophy professor, after using a Wiki article as a primer. But this post reveals just how varied the amount of information is on Wikipedia, as its content is subject to change by anyone.
Some examples of some wild disproportions:
Call of of Duty (13,069 words) vs. World War II (11,884 words)
Master Chief (4463 words) vs. George W. Bush (3,334 words)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (6,818 words) vs. Tolstoy’s War and Peace (5,041 words)
Mega Man X bosses (8,746 words) vs. Serial Killers (5,602 words)
Minor Star Wars characters (22,463 words) vs. The Founding Fathers (3,046 words)
Mario’s Legacy (444 words) vs. Jesus’ Legacy (414 words)

Awesome stats. Did you compile these yourself?

Wait. I see you linked to a post. That’s what I get for too hastily articulating a comment.
