This is a pool 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 5,000,000 (five 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 6,601,639.
This pool closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reached 4,000,000 (in July 2012). Perhaps try the WP:Ten-million pool or a higher pool.
Current level: 132.03% of 5M goal (live).
This second Five-million pool opened on 26 September 2009.
