Wikipedia:Infinity pool
| This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
This infinity pool is 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 (aleph-null). 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 7,085,601.
This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reaches (80%), so be sure to place your guess before then.
