I'd like to have a big fuss over the "TWO BILLION WORDS" milestone,
though that's a way off yet. TWO BILLION WORDS. Holy crap, that's a
LOT of text.

Your Featured Articles suggestion is good, though we must keep in mind
that the en:wp FA requirements keep ratcheting upwards, such that the
total pretty closely tracks 0.1% of the article count.
