Wikipedia:Eight-million pool

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 English Wikipedia 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 7,256,834.

This pool has closed for entries, when the English Wikipedia article count reached 6,400,000 (on 25 October 2021). Perhaps try the WP:Ten-million pool or a higher pool. Current level: 90.71% of 8M goal (live). This Eight-million pool opened on 13 July 2012, the day English Wikipedia reached 4 million articles.

A couple of months before this milestone is reached, please start a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) about whether to have a celebratory logo for this milestone (e.g., File:Wikipedia-logo-7m-v1.png; see c:Category:English Wikipedia logos for milestones). This discussion may take several weeks, so it needs to be planned in advance.
