Wikipedia:Hundred-million pool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 100,000,000 (one-hundred 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 7,229,208.
This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reaches 80,000,000 (80%), so be sure to place your guess before then.

- I don't think there are enough things in the world to write that many notable articles about. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
