Great list.

Perhaps a stupid question - does that Wikipedia number include photos? If not, what kind of overhead does that add?

That would be the Wikidata Wikicommons dataset. It's 375 TB (source: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q565 ). Including also audio, etc...

Thanks. That makes me feel silly...I had no idea so much media existed on Wikipedia, nor that it had enough text to fill that many GB alone.

English Wikipedia is only about 89GB with pictures included and 46GB without.

You can download here newest version:

https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/

I've maxi version with images on my Pi and it works locally without internet access. I've also backup in a faraday cage.

Then you can explore it using https://www.kiwix.org/en/download/
