2 million mark Wikipedia English articles REACHED
The 2 million English article mark was reached at around 9 pm (New Zealand time) on Sunday Sept. 9th. I underestimated the amount of time it would take because I started taking measurements on a week day and I suspect once the weekend arrived in the US people start inserting more English articles. My data from Sept. 6 10:00am until Sept 9, 2007 9:30pm resulted in about 2480 articles per day and hence around 243 new articles per hour! At this rate we should reach 3 million articles in another 403 days hence perhaps sometime in October or November 2008. Probably sooner, but you're guess is a good as mine.
