So this week we had three interesting milestones across the Wikipedias. On Wikipedia English we reached 1.5 million articles, at roughly the same time we had German, which reached 500,000 articles, and French which had 400,000 articles. MessedRocker, you know what the 1.5 millionth article is, don't you?

'''MessedRocker: '''Yes, the 1.5 millionth article is the [[Kanab Ambersnail]]. The article is about a type of endangered snail which lives in theethe grandGrand canyonCanyon, and it's a pretty good article so far. It's a few paragraphs, there's a nice reference section going in, some really vivid photographs. All in all it's a pretty good article so far. I' have a feeling that because of its popularity as being the one-point-five millionth article, it's going to get a lot more attention than normal. This could also be relevant to WikiSpecies, which is an attempt on making a directory of all the types of species of life in the world as we know it.

'''1ne: '''I have a question. Did [[Jordanhill railway station]], the one millionth article, did it get attention for being millionth article?
