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 English Wikipedia reaches 50,000,000 (fifty 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 6,908,487.

This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reaches 40,000,000 (80%), so be sure to place your guess before then.

Never

I think it would take until, at least, the 2130s for this to happen at article-creation rates and I doubt this will be around then. I mean 120 years before Wikipedia radio looks to have been in experimental stages at best--T. Anthony (talk) 10:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikipedia would have ended by then! Ste ven D99 03:53, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
