Wikipedia:666,666th pool

This was a pool for predicting the date at which the number of articles (as defined by the official article count presented on the Main page) in the English Wikipedia reaches 666,666. The person who came closest to the actual date, Neutrality, is the winner (of infernal fame).

The current number of articles in the English Wikipedia: 6,912,477.

The pool opened shortly before the 500,000th article was created.

A pair of line breaks has been inserted between votes; all entries above the double line break are incorrect..

This pool is closed. Any further votes will be reverted.

Just as many hotels have no thirteenth floor (to the great dismay of several late bungee jumpers), Wikipedia will skip the 666,666th article out of systematically biased prejudice. Or threat of lawsuits from extreme religionists. Radiant_>|< 12:50, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
