July 4 2031 well, so far, nobody has guessed 2031, so let's do that. Not sure if I'll be alive then, LOL. --User101010 (talk) 06:50, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
09 September 2036, just to fill a gap... but I don’t feel ready for the prospect of how old I’ll be by then, let alone decades after. Anyway, just trying to fit in a gap somewhat halfway in between. Sort of --Iamthinking2202 (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

28 September 2038, That's my prediction on when English Wikipedia reaches 9 million articles, i may be wrong but i guess we have to wait like ~12.3 years to see if my prediction comes true - Wikipedian2025 (talk) 16:10, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
Based on a very rough calculation and extrapolation of current trends, it will likely be near November 16, 2046. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:4CAE:9DE2:30BC:86D9 (talk) 23:28, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
