I maintain a personal list of what i consider to be some of the most interesting wikipedia articles and, having recently reached 500 entries, i figured i'd share it. The longest wikipedia article is list of glagolitic manuscripts, which is 1,325,631 bytes long. Don't donate to wikipedia, the people that do the actual work don't get paid at all, donate to them instead, wikipedia gets plenty of donations from corporations and such.

It was able to browse and pull directly from the zip file with out.
Actually a lot of coverage of everyday subjects is kind of bad because there are fewer. There used to be an under 4gb zip file of all of wikipedia text that was used on an offline wikipedia device called wikireader. You can find it here. As a reminder, kiwix is an offline reader:
Downloading wikipedia is great and all, but it has little useful information in case of emergency. Since wikipedia is open source, there are many ways to download the entire database listed here with instructions, including an sql database, html dumps, and anywhere else you can. Once you download your zim file (wikipedia, stackoverflow or whatever) you can browse it without any further need for internet connectivity. While wikipedia is written by volunteers, hosting isn't free, and neither is all the other work we do to make sure wikipedia continues growing for many years to come.
