Article says "This is the largest wiki on the internet other than wikipedia (source).", BUT
a) the source (s23.org page) is a "List of largest (Media)wikis" so article could only say "This is the largest mediawiki ...", except Lyricwiki is no longer listed at that s23.org page.
b) other wikis (not just Wikipedia) are bigger than LyricWiki. AboutUs is "15,453,608 total pages in the database" (no indication which would qualify for "good" status). WebsiteWiki has 945500 pages in good field. --EarthFurst 01:09, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

In regards to:
a): LyricWiki is now part of Wikia which doesn't put its stats in there (the stats that are listed for Wikia must be old before shutting off the automatic stats or something because they all together are less than just LyricWiki's stats).
b): WebsiteWiki appears to have messed with what's considered a "good" page and changed them away from the MediaWiki defaults. Looking at their stats it looks like they probably just made everything that's not a redirect be considered good.
Good point on "wiki" versus "mediawiki". Changing that...
As for the current size of LyricWiki, although that list doesn't pull them anymore, the stats still appear to be around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.101.168.102 (talk) 02:14, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
