Wikipedia:Million pool

This is a pool for predicting the date at which the number of articles (as defined by the official article count presented on the Main page) in the English Wikipedia reaches 1,000,000 (one million). The person who comes closest to the actual date is the winner (of eternal fame). The current number of articles in the English Wikipedia: 6,990,767.

The pool will be closed for entries on the day that the English Wikipedia reaches 500,000 (see the Wikipedia:Half-million pool). So be sure to place your guess before that date. The pool opened shortly after the 400,000th article was created.

To enter the contest, enter your name under the appropriate month header below (create it if it doesn't exist), along with the date you predict. 12.00 UTC (noon) of each day is assumed, unless an exact time is specified (in UTC). Changing the prediction is allowed up until the date the pool closes.

Since 777,777th article the growth will become so fast that every even number of articles will be skipped. Samohyl Jan 11:28, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Exactly one year after the English Wikipedia reaches 500,000
