This was 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 would reach 2,000,000 (two million). And Wikipedia reached 2,000,000 on Sunday, September 9, 2007, with the creation of the article "El Hormiguero". This pool opened on March 20, 2005, shortly after the 500,000th article was created. This pool was closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reached 1,000,000 on March 2, 2006 at 23:09 (UTC). OGoncho came closest to the actual date, September 9th, 2007, and became the winner (of eternal fame). The correct date was September 9th, 2007. The current number of articles in the English Wikipedia is 6,914,508.
