This seems reasonable to me---en.wikipedia didn't enter a strong 
verifiability/citation push until around 1 million articles. Before 
that, the focus was on expanding content to a critical mass.

Of course, as a guideline something like this has been used all 
along---incredible, surprising, or unlikely statements even in the early 
days of Wikipedia had to be backed up with a source, or someone would 
remove them.
