What will be the topic of the three-millionth article? Place your guesses here for posterity. Convention dictates:
Guess either a specific article name (as a red link) or a description of the kind of article it will be. The more specific, the greater kudos you win.
Make up to three guesses.
Someone mistakenly closed this pool on 15 July. Convention dictates that the *date-guessing* pool is closed, because it gets easier and easier to guess the date as you get closer. But there's no reason to close the *topic-guessing* pool. So keep guessing!

Alula Engida. An interesting personage of late 19th century Ethiopia. Maybe because of this nomination, someone will write this article before I ever get to it. --

What scares me is that I can already picture the DYK entry: "...the former governor defended herself in the [[Sarah Palin sex scandal]] by claiming everyone in Alaska did it? ('It's the only way we can get through those long, cold winter nights.')" --

A road (or similar: e.g. roundabout, bridge, flyover) probably with a number in its name, possibly in the USA and conceivably in one of the States that I wouldn't think of if asked to name all of the States. --

A road in the Midwest United States, a place in France, and my real guess: some wrestler no one outside of
WP:PW has ever heard of. Thanks, gENIUS10113:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)reply
I actually spent a good few minutes here, wondering what to put. It'll probably be hurricane-related (or if not, then in broader terms - related to the Summer). --

Definitely going to be about some dude that no one has heard of, but will get his/her 15 min. or fame by being the 300,000,000th article. It would be cool if he/she was also a Wikipedian, but he/she probably won't be. I just hope he isn't some rapper. A football (American) player is more likely. Asmeurer (

A neologism just made up last night under the influence, but so darn clever it will make me famous if those evil Wikipedians don't Afd it. --SPhilbrickT23:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)reply
