the 10,000th article coming closer

[ratcreature]

Right now there are 9,990 articles, so there probably will be 10,000 very soon, like today or tomorrow, and I thought that the occassion could maybe marked or celebrated somehow?

ETA: I meant by highlighting the eventual 10,000th article on the main page for a while as spotlight, or maybe some sparkly celebratory graphic that announces the milestone in the news and makes it more noticable than just passing the number, or that sort of thing.

I'd go for sparkly graphics!

Actually, did you notice when it was? I'm tempted to say it was around the time of:

but I'm not sure how to check!

The problem is that the number updates are not real time. I noticed when the article number was 10,004 and counted backwards four in the new articles (without new redirects) and that got me to

but I think it might have been a bit earlier, but not much.
