Any opinions on when this pool should be closed?? I say it should be whenever Wikipedia reaches 2,000,000 articles. Anyone disagree?? Georgia guy 00:26, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This pool will be closing very soon. Probably before the end of June. JIP | Talk 03:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Is it server time, UTC or something else we're betting on? Also, I think people should write what time of day they're voting on. :) / skagedal ... 17:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
The categories are in chronological order.. so shouldn't Never go last? After Eternity? :P Also its contents are pretty negative and probably discourage participation. -- Zojj ( t, c) 04:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Based on Wikipedia's growth rate, I found several points comparing the year and month to the article count. I then used quadratic regression (on my TI-84, of course) to find the equation of the curve of best fit. Plugging 5 million in gives the date of May 25th, 2011. Any thoughts?

I propose a new schedule for future pools. It also effects this pool (5M), so see Wikipedia talk:Pools#Future pools (2). HenkvD ( talk) 18:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Now that we hit five million, I propose reopening the pool for when we go back down to that number. All votes for dates after 1 Nov 2015 will still stand! The deletionists are coming, the deletionists are coming! Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 23:31, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia is now at halfway between four million and five million. It has taken it a year and nine months to gain half a million articles, therefore I predict it will take it another year and nine months to gain another half a million articles. It will reach five million in January 2016, and either User:Mark E or User:Mac Davis will win. JIP | Talk 05:25, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
I have been following your predictions. Very interesting! Thanks! -- User101010 ( talk) 19:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
It was interesting to see the predictions bounce around, then go back and forth between Oct and Nov then finally land on Nov 1. Thanks again. -- User101010 ( talk) 13:49, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
