Wikipedia:Quadrillion pool

This quadrillion 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 1,000,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion). 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 6,910,254.

This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reaches 800,000,000,000,000 (80%), so be sure to place your guess before then.

• You'd have to break Wikipedia rules to reach this. You'd have to document who am I, my memories, my wishes and all my personal information to reach this. DuyWilliam1985 (talk) 05:47, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
• Wikipedia will cease to exist before then AlphaCent2021 (talk) 12:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

• Humanity and thus, wikipedia, will cease to exist before then. (on current rate it will take more than 2 billion years) SYSS Mouse (talk) 04:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
• You would have to go past the speed of light to do so, and even then, the Wikipedia servers will die.106.68.124.55 (talk) 13:28, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
• None of us will be around in four billion years, in living form. Who knows, perhaps in another distant galaxy, far away? Or shall I say the heavens? Mar4d (talk) 19:27, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
