I don't understand your confusion. People are posting them because they find them interesting and think other HN readers will as well, which is the point of the site. Are you implying that Wikipedia articles can't have interesting content, or that you personally don't find any of the posted ones interesting and don't believe anyone else would either?
- zoezoezoezoe 2y agoI mean, I suppose that's fine. idk, I've always kind of thought that hacker news was meant to be a technology adjacent news site, and I always felt that the wikipedia links seemed out of place to me.
- bhaney 2y agoAt the bottom of every page here, there is a link to the HN guidelines. The first guideline is on "What to Submit." It does not give me the impression that the articles you're referring to are out of place here.
