Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the where-were-you-when dept.

The milestone was reached with the creation of an article about Jordanhill railway station in Scotland. Congratulations to all the Wikipedians, especially Nach0king who wrote the millionth article and Mészáros András who in November 2004 correctly predicted that it would be created today."

    And to think that their original goal was 100,000 articles...
