Wikipedia:Three-millionth topic pool

What will be the topic of the three-millionth article? Place your guesses here for posterity. Convention dictates:

• Guess either a specific article name (as a red link) or a description of the kind of article it will be. The more specific, the greater kudos you win.
• Make up to three guesses.

Someone mistakenly closed this pool on 15 July. Convention dictates that the *date-guessing* pool is closed, because it gets easier and easier to guess the date as you get closer. But there's no reason to close the *topic-guessing* pool. So keep guessing!
