Wikipedia talk:Last topic pool

For the date of creation of the last article, see my predictions at Wikipedia:Eleventy-billion_pool#2038. Of course, we'll have pretty hefty servers by then, maybe they'll cope...-gadfium 23:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

If Wikipedia changes its name, what would it change to and what reason would there be?? Georgia guy 20:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[http://technology.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1720917,00.html Wikipedia hits the million mark]:

:"And in the event that Wikipedia goes under, the earth ends or the site is finally completed "with the sum total of all current and future human knowledge", users have set up a last topic pool with suggestions including "Three easy steps to building your own nuclear weapon", "Quantum black hole safety" and "How to delete the internet in one simple keystroke"."

Congrats to God of War, Endomion, and Pellaken. I like how they're all science entries too. Melchoir 08:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:Sure, go ahead and congratulate them :-/ Image:Cyde.png 02:51, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

::I don't understand. Melchoir 07:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

:::I created this page and all of the quotes in that article on the topic of this page were from me, with the exception of the three votes. --Cyde Weys 06:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

::::Ah, indeed you did. Well, congrats to you too! Melchoir 07:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

What about the belief that there won't be a last article on Wikipedia. Some people might think that that is the case. 64.192.107.242 20:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm impressed by the phrase "There may undoubtedly be". That's a sentiment that I think I'm certain I've never encountered before. According to Google it may be found in 75 places. Abu Amaal 01:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a pool 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 infinity (ALEF_null). 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 {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}.

This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia article count reaches ALEF_null/2 (which equals ALEF_null, hence will never happen), so be sure to place your guess before then. This pool opened on April 29, 2007.

Did you like that one at the bottom that I did? 70.184.32.37 03:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Just putting my opinion in here.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

There was in related article at Wikipedia:Eleventy-billion pool with over 500 edits, which was recently summarily deleted without discussion, and later MfD'ed on the strength of the original unilateral deletion.

If you contributed to that pool, you can leave a comment on its discussion page. +sj + 03:48, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps we should make a last edit pool as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smartyshoe (talk • contribs) 20:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

THIS IS NOT A VOTE, IT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL OPINION.

According to Gp75motorsports, the first page is also the last. The first was UuU. UuU stands for UnitedKingdom, United States and Uruguay...Will these countries be the end?--Editor510 (talk) 12:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

What does the winner get? DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) (talk) 23:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Dunno about the last topic but I've already found the last page... -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 00:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Any opinion on what to do when this article gets large?? It's nearly 100KB. Georgia guy (talk) 23:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

If there's a last topic pool, why not a last edit pool? Under the same reasoning as the last topic pool there should be a way to guess the last edit to Wikipedia.{{Jokes}} 172.112.210.32 (talk) 22:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Its just sad to think about Abdullah raji (talk) 10:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

it seems likely. Wikipedia is known for immediately changing from is to was when something ends. For example, the is to was change for the pope Franis's death happened within a minute. This page may also be the last edit because the announcement will count as an edit. VictimPlushie (talk) 22:42, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
