I propose that links to random wikipedia articles should be considered below the threshold of "interesting" for the front page of HN. Who's with me?

- Cushman 14y agoI'm normally very liberal about submissions-- I figure whatever we upvote belongs here. But this... I don't understand why this even got submitted.
- aneth4 14y agoI presume this is a follow on to the recent top story regarding colonization of Mars come reality show next decade.
- PerryCox 14y agoI 100% agree. If this is allowed to continue HN's front page will soon look like /r/TIL
- Cushman 14y agoThis would never make the front of Reddit. What would the headline be... "TIL that some people speculate about terraforming Mars"?
- ta12121 14y agoNo, the trick is to pick some obscure impressive sounding factoid from the article and use it as the headline. Then link to the root of the article so that anyone interested in it has to search for it.
