From the guidelines: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html To answer your question, it's not a random Wikipedia article. It's relevant to the site. Furthermore, just because you know about something doesn't mean everyone else here does. I just found out about it myself and thought others here might find it interesting. Clearly I was wrong. So it goes. I'll just try something else.
