This was a pool to guess when Wikipedia would hit 2,000,000 articles. It was closed on March 2, 2006, and Wikipedia reached 2,000,000 on Sunday September 9, 2007, with the creation of the article "El Hormiguero". Congratulations go to OGoncho the winner!

This pool was closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reached 1,000,000 on March 2, 2006 at 23:09 (UTC) (see Wikipedia:Million pool). This pool opened on March 20, 2005, shortly after the 500,000th article was created.

This pool is now closed. Any future entries will be reverted.

  • What if some mad scientist uses his Mega-Super-Evil-Yet-Awesome Gravity Ray Thing to slow down Earth's orbit around the sun, therefore necessitating the creation of an eighth day of the week, and Wikipedia reaches 2,000,000 articles on that day, huh? ;) --OneofThem 01:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ninth day of week

God said, "Let there be a free encylopedia in the midst of mankind, and let it be editable by anyone." So God put the concept of a wiki in to the head of mankind, and man used it to create a free encylopedia. And it was so. God called to the free encylopedia: "Wikipedia." And there was evening and there was morning, a ninth day. ems 12:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
