This is the second pool for predicting the date at which the number of Featured articles (as defined by the official article count presented on the Wikipedia:Featured articles) in the English Wikipedia reaches 5,000 (five thousand). See the official counter for the current number of FA articles in the English Wikipedia is ( {{FA number}} ) currently 6479. The person who comes closest to the actual date is the winner.

This pool will be closed for entries when the English Wikipedia FA article count reaches 4,500, so be sure to place your guess before then.

This pool opened on March 15, 2013, when the FA statistic was at 3824 based on the figure in Wikipedia:Featured articles. Feel free to suggest what the article might be about, but that does not count towards winning his contest. Appearing as an FA on the Main Page has no bearing on this contest. The first pool closed many years ago.

This pool is closed. Any further votes will be reverted. 5K FA reached on April 16, 2017. Winner of pool: User:Ryūkotsusei
