It's remarkable you managed to squeeze in mention of the 5,000,000 millionth article into this issue, especially considering that it only occurred an hour or two before publication time. Bravo! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:40, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you. I spent a lot of time anxiously watching the countdown this weekend. Gamaliel (talk) 19:53, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• It is extraordinarily unfortunate that such an otherwise celebratory occasion must also bear the sad news of a Wikimedian no longer with us. Rest in peace, Kahlid Mahmood. My condolences to their loved ones. Mz7 (talk) 18:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• I'll bet 50% of those articles are sports articles, obscure villages, railway stations, little known bugs, and entertainment trivia. Praemonitus (talk) 22:56, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• It is only a small sample, but I looked at the last ten articles he created, between June and July this year. Thanks to interwiki links and google translate, I was able to discover that the article topics were stamen and pollen, a 19th century Polish poet, a city in Israel, a desert shrub found in India and Pakistan, and five articles on United States geographical features, including Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. If Praemonitus or anyone else is curious in exploring Khalid's contributions further, his list of articles created is here. He also contributed 61 articles to the English Wikipedia. I'll let the reader decide whether a World War I battle falls within the category of entertainment trivia. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Note the indentation: I was not referring to Khalid's contributions, but rather to the net total of 5,000,000 articles. Sorry for any confusion. Praemonitus (talk) 19:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Ah yes, so you were. I am equally sorry for the ill-aimed jab. If talking about the net total, I think your 50% may be an underestimation. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:07, 25 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As a result of the initiative mentioned here, images of Persoonia terminalis' two subspecies are now available on Commons.
