Countdown to estimate for 2 million english Wikipedia articles

Well, i've done some computations and my new estimate of ten
days until 2 million english articles in Wikipedia arrives.

I am now keeping track of the number
of articles per day. I started this morning at 10 am and there
were then 1991618 articles, and just this afternoon at around
6 pm there are 1992106 articles, which is an increase of 488
articles in 8 hours which corresponds to an increase of 1464
articles per day which gives us the 2 million mark in 6 more
days on Wednesday Sept 12. I will keep updating the statistics
to get a better estimate over next 6 or so days. In any case,
I think we should know in a week.
