Bullshit. If you skip the link in parenthesis like the rules say, it still takes you to philosophy.

If you skip the link in parentheses it takes you to The Peacock and Gamble Podcast.

Which then takes you back to Ray Peacock.

My computer doesn't show the article that way. It shows the first link as BBC London.

BBC London is the second non-parenthesized link on the page.  Dunno why yours would appear differently..

It said BBC London before I edited it, which did indeed lead to Philosophy. I'm not sure why it's showing the outdated version.

Nicely done, but I found my page without editing it.

One of the androids that run Wikipedia will probably change it back so it still redirects you to philosophy, though.

It still leads to Philosophy eventually, anyway  :lol

Apparently Dragon doesn't even without editing. It gets stuck between "Mythology" and "Comparative Mythology".

The real question is, how many clicks away is philosophy from Kevin Bacon?

Edit: 11 clicks. 10 if you count 'modern philosophy'.

i've been putting some thought and time into this, and it's starting to make sense. if you look at the overall trend of the clicks, you'll realize that the topic of each article in the succession of clicks becomes more and more broad, despite the fact that you searched for something specific. for instance, i searched candy.

wiki search 1 - candy.

first link - confection
first link - sugar
first link - crystalline
first link - solid
first link - states of matter
first link - phases
first link - physical sciences
first link - natural science
first link - science
first link - knowledge
first link - facts
first link - information
first link - sequence
first link - mathematics
first link - quantity
first link - property
first link - modern philosophy
first link - philosophy

i definitely would not come to the conclusion that it is some kind of flaw on wikipedia's part. if you think about it from a broad sense, anything you search for, "candy, beer, sex" etc, has their existence needing to be proven. candy is a confection, which in turn is this...which in turn is this...etc etc...until you end up with the broadest thing possible - philosophy (knowledge). you'll notice the first few words of (almost) every wikipedia starts with -

"insert here" IS.
