This Eight-million pool is for predicting the date at which the number of articles (as defined by the official article count presented on the
Special:Statistics) in the
EnglishWikipedia reaches 8,000,000 (eight 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 is 6,837,841.
This pool has closed for entries, when the English Wikipedia article count reached 6,400,000 (on 25 October 2021). Perhaps
try the
WP:Nine-million pool or a higher pool.
Current level: 85.47% of 8M goal (live).
This Eight-million pool opened on 13 July 2012, the day English Wikipedia reached 4 million articles.

September 13, 2032, and let this note serve as a time capsule for that far-off date. We survived the pandemic and the peace that followed, I hope.

Unless making new sections is not allowed. Otherwise, I'm kinda smart about this. --
