[edit] 10,000th article
It's been a long, long time since we attempted to reach for the 10,000th article. Many things have come and went away. The manipulations of the article count... we were supposed to reach this height a rather long time ago ever since I made the 9000th article. That, was until all those Super Smash Brothers series special moves were merged into their character articles, losing around 60 or 80 articles in the result of the merge. Many proposals went by... around 30 of them, or more. And our presence in the wiki grows more and more to other areas of the internet, arising the good, and the bad. Yes. It's time. The 10,000th article is Stalking Piranha Plant, created by Pikmin1254 (Talk) We would like to congratulate the wiki in reaching this milestone after quite a long time. Thanks relatively new user.
However, as a wiki, we still have many things to work on. We still have over 1,000 stubs in the wiki, there are articles that are waiting to be complete with at least a single image, and the maintenance lists must be updated daily so all the information can be heard. Many things indeed, some done, some left unfinished. I suggest that before reaching the 11,000th article, we should reach out and work on older pages and become the most updated wiki in favor of all Mario, Yoshi, DK, and other fans of the series to receive such great information.
Let's make a big improvement in our agendas fellow MarioWikians when reaching the next milestone. MarioWiki... FOREVER!
EDIT: Unfortunately, I actually have no idea what is the 9000th article. o_O

- Maybe this might quit your smile (for a while), but why the Main page says 9.982 articles? Are you counting the redirects or something else?
How so? I am clearly seeing this in the main page. No, I am not counting redirects. Do you have any other evidence? (And if you do, I'll be gone by then, leaving the computer) RAP... 22:23, 16 November 2009 (EST)
Oopsie, I saw the problem... Looks like the Main page wasn't refreshed, so it showed me the old results. Now we have 10003 pages and counting...

- Stubs? Pfft, no problem, I'll take care of them, but I can only do it for games I have, although we could use a few more images...--FREAK ~Game
Freak~ OUT!
- Taking down one thousand stubs isn't easy, but if you're eager to try It, you might be interested in joining Knife's PipeProject. -

- XD nice phrase Steve. We should get on those things first, and then, we can work onto getting the 11,000th article --

- Quiet you. And yes, this is a great milestone we've reached. However, instead of rushing to create that 11,000th article, we should focus on the articles we already have. Unstubbing 1,000+ articles is no easy task, but with everyone's help it can be done. Stop creating articles just to get rid of red links. Stop creating articles on extremely minor subjects. Stop creating articles just to raise article count. Find better images and create better templates if you're good at that. Start expanding as many articles as you can. And maybe, just maybe, we'll have no stubs at all by the time we hit 11,000. We still have a lot of work to do.--<<< Knife 16:19, 17 November 2009 (EST)
Before anyone asks how many days did we reached the next thousand articles, it took like say 300 days to reach such a milestone. From Janurary 4, 2009 (the time we reached 9000 articles), to November 16, 2009, it would've explained why it look a bit longer than reaching from 8000 to 9000 articles, and 7000 to 8000 articles, and probably so on. I predict as we go beyond how articles we have made, typically many more conflicts will arise during this period. Remember the reactions of being a "published source", and the time that someone predicted that we can reach a new milestone by a thousand articles? [This link] will do. However, I can't find that other section. ^_^;; RAP... 06:26, 18 November 2009 (EST)
[edit] Old proposal
Why does the latest proposal template still have The "Link to Userpedia in Community" proposal? The deadline for that was Nov. 12(last week!) and it's certainly not the latest proposal.
