What, exactly, does an end-state Wikipedia project look like, to those who would want us to stop adding new articles at some point? How and when would you say "stop"?
When we have articles on every topic for which reputable sources can be found.
Sure that's your criteria? I can, with a little effort, get multiple reputable sources to document my travels to and from work every day (I could drive by multiple Caltrans, TV and Radio station traffic cams, take my own GPS log of the trip, video blog it, publish an ISBNed print-on-demand book of it every day, etc). I would certainly hope that nobody felt it Wikipedia-worthy to create [[George William Herbert's drive to work on Friday, June 10, 2006]]. Much less the drive home, or the rest of the week and month.
We're past the point that lots of truly mundane boring stuff gets reputably reliably recorded in an accessable manner, which would pass the verifyable source test for WP.
We'll get to the point that most truly mundane things in public are so recorded (hint: England has security cameras everywhere in most major cities already).
