Wikipedia talk:Five-million pool (2)

Creating a 12M pool

After I closed the 4M pool because the number of articles reached its value (3.2M,) I created an 8M pool. However, because there already is a 10M pool, I would like to know which makes more sense between the 2 following suggestions:

1. Create a 12M pool when this pool is closed
2. Create a 12M pool when the 6M pool is closed

Any discussion?? Georgia guy (talk) 21:31, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to see an 8M pool before anything else.Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 02:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually under the these rules the 8M pool should be opened after we get to 4M articles.Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[1] 02:07, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Prediction

Wikipedia is now at halfway between four million and five million. It has taken it a year and nine months to gain half a million articles, therefore I predict it will take it another year and nine months to gain another half a million articles. It will reach five million in January 2016, and User:Ghalas will win. JIP | Talk 05:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Why were there two of the 5-million pools? And why weren't they merged ages ago?

Now we have two winners... Etamni | ✉ | ✓  20:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
