Image[edit]
A screen shot image of Wikipedia Main Page or subject of the 3 millionth article would be work fine. Zainichi Gaikokujin [talk] 11:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Done I added Image:Wikipedia Main Page - 3 million articles.png to the article. Zainichi Gaikokujin [talk] 16:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
source[edit]
who ediot added Main page of Wikipedia as source,
- "Welcome to Wikipedia," — Wikipedia, August 17, 2009
- What better source for the wording of the page than, eh, the page itself? Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 17:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- I tried to cite external sources as per Wikinews:Style guide for reliability and improve presentation but reverted. Zainichi Gaikokujin [talk] 19:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Nowhere does WN:SG say "cite loads of shit that isn't actually used to back up anything in the article". Wikinews:Cite sources, another policy, does say "Only cite sources used for information - do not add sources if you did not include any information from them."

- It is nice to note that WP is hitting the mainstream media however in this event.... so will add a few here. The Guardian Telegraph.co.uk Telegraph.co.uk - 50 most viewed SriMesh | talk 23:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- The third sentence of the Article about the 3 millionth article should read:
"The 3 millionth article, about a Norwegian film actress and director Beate Eriksen, was created at 04:04 UTC by Wikipedia user Lampman." rather than: "The 3 millionth article about a Norwegian film actress and director Beate Eriksen was created at 04:04 UTC by Wikipedia user Lampman.". This is because the 3 millionth article is the only one about 'a Norwegian film actress, etc'.
