This was a pool for predicting the date at which the number of articles (as defined by the official article count presented on the Special:Statistics) in the English Wikipedia would reach 1,000,000 (one million). And Wikipedia reached 1,000,000 on Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 23:09 (UTC). This pool opened on December 1st, 2004, at 23:47, about when the 410,000th article was created. This pool was closed for entries on March 18, 2005. Shortly after the English Wikipedia article count reached 1,000,000. András Mészáros came closest to the actual date, March 1st, 2006, and became the winner (of eternal fame). The correct date was March 1st, 2006. The current number of articles in the English Wikipedia is 6,837,161.

This pool is closed. Any further votes will be reverted.

If I could still vote, I would have chosen either the 27th or the 28th—just for the record. Bannus 13:53, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Never[edit]

Invalid, uninterpretable, and just plain silly guesses[edit]

Moments after article 999,999 is created

A complex econometric vector autoregression time series trend modeling code was adapted for use in this problem, and 14 simulations were performed on a 1,024 node cluster over a period of 6 months. This was the average result. -- BRIAN0918  22:45, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Midnight of Never

After the Final Conflagration

Desolation

Patient centuries have eroded much of the topsoil from the landscape. Loose, charred earth stretches away in every direction.

Inconceivable!

there simply aren't one million topics in existence. --Alterego 07:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
