Wikidata surpassed the English language Wikipedia in the number of revisions in the database, about 45 minutes ago today.I was tipped off by a tweet [1] a few day ago and have been watching via a script that displays the largest revision id and its timestamp. Here's the point where Wikidata overtakes English Wikipedia (times in UTC):
