I put this Wikipedia article on Give Me Something to Read today — I’m linking to it instead of reblogging because you don’t seem able to make a reblog a question post. (I was also late, sorry early commuters.) My rationale is that some Wikipedia articles — like this one — are genuinely pretty interesting reads. But I want to make sure this is a good idea.
For one, there are already at least a couple of blogs with the sole function of surfacing interesting Wikipedia articles. Secondarily, I’m not sure if most GMSTR readers are there for great journalism, or just for a long read, whatever it may be.
So Wikipedia articles on GMSTR: yes or no?
