I calculated May 14 at first, but now it shows that it could be May 13, so I predict that Wikipedia will hit the mark on about May 13th. User:Lilholdy (talk) 1:26, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

• June 6, 2023, because it would be really cool if Wikipedia reached 6,666,666 articles on the sixth day of the sixth month. 67.62.115.34 (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

• 22 June 2023. This pool is closing quite soon and I realised the date of my previous guess had already passed. Now I predict that Wikipedia will reach 6,666,666 articles in exactly one month. JIP | Talk 08:07, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

• May 5, 2027 - calculated by taking the time from the start to 666,666, then multiplying that by 1.6 to account for slow down, than calculating that many days from when 6,000,000 was reached. 170.158.251.125 (talk) 14:42, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
