This Seven-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 7,000,000 (seven 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 6,854,720.
This pool has closed for entries, when the English Wikipedia article count reached 5,600,000 (March 29, 2018). Perhaps
try the
Eight-million pool or a higher pool.
Current level: 97.92% of 7M goal (live).
This Seven-million pool opened on 12 December 2010, the day English Wikipedia reached 3.5 million articles.
1 May 2022. Wikipedia reached 4,000,000 articles in 2012, 5,000,000 in 2015, and I'm guessing 2019 will be the year when Wikipedia reaches 6,000,000 and 2022 for 7,000,000. I may not be editing, but I'm guessing that should be when it comes.

April 1, 2023; a little earlier than some of my last-minute calculations, but similar to the approximations of other editors. It'll be played off as a joke until someone actually checks. Yours Truly,

May 5, 2023, assuming the rate of content creation decline remains relatively constant. Though the pattern might break down if decent content-writing AIs/bots are released onto the wiki in the 2020s. --Jakob (
