I recently updated the Postcard Milestones table on the Postcrossing Wikipedia page , but I could use some help with references and postcard numbers for some of the Million Milestones.
Can you help? Feel free to simply update the Wikipedia page yourself, or if you’d prefer, just reply to this post with the links or card numbers so I can update the page.

You should find all relevant ones on the official Postcrossing blog, using the tag milestone :

Thank you for that link. I did actually use that already for filling in all the references that I could, but if you check out the Wikipedia page, you’ll see there are rows for each million milestone up to 26 million, but the blog only seems to have 1 through 5, then 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 before jumping by 10 million.
So, we’re missing 6, 8, 9, 11-14, 16-19, 21, 22, and 26. Those are not listed in the blog.

Mentioning @paulo here, who’s probably the only person who can help fetch this data.

Beforehand, thank you for updating the Postcrossing Wikipedia page — it’s appreciated!
Today I had some time to dig this up and, if I didn’t made any mistake, this is the full list:

Oh my word, this is incredible ! Thank you!!
It’ll take me a little bit, but I’ll get this all added into the Wikipedia page. And this post should work well as the source/reference since it came directly from you @paulo .

It actually went quicker thank I thought it would to update after I wrote a script to parse and format the data from your table into Wikipedia’s markdown.
Thank you @meiadeleite for tagging Paul, and thank you @paulo for getting the data so quickly!

In the interest of transparency, and for anyone else who may find the script useful, I’ve posted it on GitHub:
https://github.com/dynamiccookies/postcrossing-wikipedia
I realize this is a one-off script specific to this individual post, but you may be able to tweak it for your needs.
