Thanks! http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C3%85land_Islands&oldid=726060 Aland Islands is actually March 2003 - problem with redirects there. So it looks like all that low-hanging fruit went by 2002, with the outliers by 2004. A bit slower than I'd thought, really. Though Denmark is earlier than the date on your list. Not sure what is going on there.
