milestone. Stay up forever old buddy! :-D

And today is the second day of Wikimania! Surely they have something
new to celebrate and brag about now! :-D

Indeed we do -- we even had a live countdown to the 4 million mark at
Wikimania!

Re: English Wikipedia crossed 4 million articles milestone

It does seem appropriate that this milestone was reached during
Wikimania. Does anyone have a listing of when the other "million"
milestones were reached?

There is also a discussion here:

1 million, March 1, 2006

2 million, September 9, 2007
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/Wikipedia_Reaches_2_Million_Articles

3 million, August 17, 2009
There doesn't seem to be an archived press release on 
wikimediafoundation.org for this one, but see:
