Wikipedia

1. 8220 words
2. "The Persian Wars" was my search term, the article is called Greco-Persian Wars
3.There isn't a link for this article
4. The article had to be re-written at one point because it was poorly executed. Some believe the article should be split up into several parts. It's rated B-class.
5.This article has been edited over 500 times, the first article was written in September, 2003, the latest revision was September 1st, 2008.
6. There are two external links
7. There is not a references section, however there are 156 entries under the "notes" section
8.There are 17 further reading opportunities.

This article covers everything from the Ionian revolt, to the peace of Callias, it even has tactical advantages and goes into considerable detail about every single aspect of the war. I would recommend it to someone that has to do serious research on a topic, but not for someone that simply wants a summery of the Persian war. It is very long, and can be tedious.
