Proposals for closing projects/Closure of English Wikipedia: Difference between revisions

I can name a gazillion numbers bigger than 2.8 million. There's 3 million, 4 million, 5 million... And 416 is so tiny compared to 2.8 million that it's not worth being compared to larger numbers. Hardly worth anything, really... 296.5 million edits may seem big, but there are still numbers way bigger than it - have y'all heard of the number 360 trillion?
