This is a pool for guessing what the topic of the last article created on Wikipedia may be. Other topic pools exist for certain milestones (see one millionth and two-millionth topic pools and Wikipedia:500th language pool), but none are as important as the last topic created. You may be wondering why something might be the last article. Well,

  • Wikipedia might go under
  • the Earth (or at least the Internet) may end in some catastrophic fashion
  • Wikipedia might simply be finished with the sum total of all current and future human knowledge
  • Or Wikipedia will change its name, therefore the "last article" would be the last under the name of Wikipedia.

But just like there was a first article, there may undoubtedly be a last. This is the pool for that eventuality! Everyone is allowed a maximum of three votes. Voting ends when the ten-thousandth-to-last article is created. And by the way, someone should probably periodically archive this page, because when we need it to check and see who's won, it may not be around any longer.

Instructions for voting: Add the article name to the appropriate section and sign it with four tildes. If the section doesn't exist yet, make it.

  • i^n. I read a short science fiction story once. It might have been by Asimov. Sometime in the far distant future, it is discovered that there is a finite amount of information in the universe. This is all collected into a massive database. Many indexes are created to assist in searching this database, and then some indexes to indexes (known as i^2) are created to help people find which index they need. Then i^3s are produced and so on. Finally, the ultimate index to indexes to indexes... is created, known as i^n, and searching is sweet, until one day someone gets an index corruption error, and all knowledge is lost. Anyone know the name of the story, or can confirm the author?-gadfium 02:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Wouldn't that be i^ω? Melchoir 02:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Probably. I last read the story 20 or 30 years ago, so my memory could easily be wrong.-gadfium 03:28, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Wouldn't we need an index to search through i^ω? That would be i^(ω + 1), and so on. And thus, we see the usefulness of ordinals in real life.
But actually, we can't possibly need more indexes than the amount of data, right? So perhaps this really is i^n, where n is no greater than the total amount of bits of information in the database. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 12:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  • None. Wikipedia declares itself to be an attack site due to it containing stuff that criticizes Wikipedia, and hence all articles containing wikilinks to anything else in Wikipedia are banned. Since articles not containing any wikilinks aren't counted in the article count, the count hence stops increasing, and subsequently decreases as admins go around enforcing the ruling by deleting all existing articles that contain wikilinks.

[edit] Philosophy

  • The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. Because once we know that, the universe ends due to the fact that the answer to said question is already known. --Thephotoman 22:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
    • duh, it's 42 gypsie 22:50, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
      • That's not the question, though. That's the answer. If you must know, the question is "What is 6x9?". ~ Ghelæ talkcontribs 07:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
        • Of course, this works if you do the calculation in base 13, not decimal. There are several possible causes of this: the scrabble bag did not have enough letters to complete the question; the mice normally used base 13, so the Earth did not see any need to specify this; the arrival of the B Ark upset the calculation, and the program is coorupted; or, as the play itself said "I always knew there was something funadmentally wrong with the universe" (I will correc this when I can be bothered)Phil alias Harry 03:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
          The base 13 thing is a coincidence, I'm pretty sure DNA said he didn't do it intentionally. It's meant to just be the wrong question, because the B Ark messed it all up. --Tango 00:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
          YES! TANGO! You got it right. "What is 6x9?" is NOT the question; as the program calculating the Ultimate Question (i e, Earth) was corrupted by unexpected user input (i e the residents of the B ark, who would spawn the human race). Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 20:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

As was already mentioned, there was outside interference to the Earth's program. Plus, Earth blew up before it was done calculating. --Nintendorulez talk 19:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone argues the point that that phrase is all a person could truly know so well that everyone uniamously removes every other part of Wikipedia excluding this phrase, making it the last wikipedia article in existence.

  • PANTS Vandalism Coordination Center - In an ironic turn the last article created is an on-site home base of sorts for the thousands of anti-wiki "PANTS" (People Are Not Too Satisfied) vandals that are dedicating their computers to an all-out spam attack on the Wiki using advanced software built for mass page editing. The attacks come so heavily and so fast that everyone is caught off guard; the servers are overloaded. The creators of the advanced software, the leaders of the PANTS, take the overload as an opportunity to sneak into Wikipedia headquarters, which are then located on Wiki island in Oceania. The PANTS leaders are able to enter unnoticed and by using a nasty virus they are able to corrupt the entire Wikipedia archive; the site meanwhile is down for about an hour with the message "PANTS have taken over. Go outside, enjoy your freedom," with a picture of trousers. The virus finally erases everything (even itself) and the Wikipedia shuts down forever. The Wikipedia employees are forced to re-launch the site under a different name due to software still loaded on many computers which attacks anything appearing on the domain wikipedia.org. The site launches with only about 1% of the articles (thanks to a hard disk backup that wasn't connected to the mainframe during the attack) under simply the name "Wiki." The entire story is bought by NBC Universal and made into a movie. -DMurphy 06:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
