From a quiet Scottish railway stop built in 1887 to a milestone in modern internet history – Jordanhill railway station’s story is one for the books. On 1 March 2006, it became the subject of English Wikipedia's one millionth article, highlighting the free encyclopedia's growing reach. The article was created by Ewan Macdonald, a Wikipedian known on the site as User:Nach0King. The small station itself continues to serve passengers on the Argyle and North Clyde lines. Located nearby is the Jordanhill Campus of the University of Strathclyde. The playing field for the rugby union team Glasgow Hawks RFC is also close to the station.

4dI once predicted that Wikipedia would plateau out at 5-10 million articles. I wonder if the English language Wikipedia will exceed that number
