> Discover Wikipedia articles popular on Hacker News

Wikipedia articles _and YT videos_.

Amazing result, very precious, just skimming in it for a few minutes was immensely enriching.

Other modes worth trying: "Mailing Lists", "Research Papers"

Nicely done! Would be interesting to sort by upvotes and/or comment count as well.

Wikepedia, the most untrustworthy source ever, cases and cases of people who gained access to the article and completely changed it with fake information:

1. Assassin's Creed video game: A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai. The whole dramas was so bad that Janapense officials got involved, and one of the reasons Ubisoft Studio which was already broke due to DEI, went even more bankrupt.

2. A lawyer changed specific laws on Wikipedia and waited, as expected, judges were caught using the "fabricated law" against real cases with real consequences.

I could go on and on, but hey, you do you :)
