I noticed the en.wikipedia close to 500 000 articles. Press release? Celebration? Party?
As a deletionist, I reckon we ought to have a party if we can get it back down to, oh, 400,000, for a start. Just joking -- well ...., yeah, just joking.

Actually, is there a journalistic angle here?
Consider that there is presumably a 'tipping point' out there, where a Blandopedia fork will be a commercial proposition. Like a Linux distribution, say: the CD-ROM you pay for is a definite version, someone has taken the decisions for you, you are not filling your computer up with stuff in which you have no interest, and for which no one takes the slightest responsibility.
So, when will it come for WP? Can we induce - I won't say a media feeding frenzy - some speculation about how long?

I think that would be a great idea. The last press release is already about 6 months old (million of articles).

Definitely. I'm currently drafting one...
Celebration? Party?
Great idea! Shall we coordinate a global party for next Saturday? Then we could issue the press release Saturday/Sunday.
