If it does finally plateau half the days will be negative of course; and they'll become more common before we reach the plateau just due to randomness. But if we start having negative weeks, stick a fork in her, she's probably done!
Do we have any plans for when we'll be taking the Wikipedia out of beta? ;-)
I think we should do a bot run with census data from 2001 for every tiny place in India first, and get those articles cleaned up, before we announce that the project has got to where it's going. Actually 3,750,000 articles sounds like a consensus figure for a couple of years out ... it will be interesting to see what trends start looking significant as we get closer.
