Some questions to ponder:
Evidence suggests that the 100,000th article was, in fact, Hastings, New Zealand, posted at 03:36 on Tuesday 21 January 2003 by Lisiate. The article describes the user's old home town. This pushed the counter up to the 100,000 mark, although subsequent deletions of older articles have affected the article count. Which is the 100,000th article still extant is liable to change repeatedly as old articles are deleted, and is therefore probably not very interesting, even as a piece of trivia. Although, having said that, at the time of writing this, it is Machine vision by Rethunk, started at 05:30 the same morning! (That is, assuming that none of the subsequent new pages are non-articles, which may not actually be true.)
