someone needs to add sources for the info on here. i would add an unreferenced tag but apparantly i'm not supposed to for living person articles. Jessi1989 (talk) 16:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he's not living. That and there's really nothing that "needs" referencing (everything in the bio can be found in the external link) Wizardman 17:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2.5 millionth article?

Some keep mentioning this was the 2.5 millionth article but why is there no fanfare here? --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 07:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, well, I did help get this article on the "Did you know..." section on the Main Page. Is that enough fanfare? :) -- RyRy (talk) 07:36, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the 2,000,000th article (El Hormiguero) got a nice little messagebox for its talk page, so I've added one here. I didn't see a foundation press release, though, so I linked it to the Signpost. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 13:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
