What are some of the most interesting articles / pages on Wikipedia?
I'm dedicating this discussion to the most interesting articles or pages on Wikipedia. You'll have to provide a link and then briefly describe why it's an interesting page.
Page Title:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
Link: Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo
It's interesting because: That title, is grammatically correct English sentence! Don't believe it? Read about it on the wikipedia.

Robert Shields Diarist -
Reverend Robert Shields (May 17, 1918 â October 15, 2007) was a former Minister and high school English teacher who lived in Dayton, Washington, USA, and left behind a diary of 37.5 million words that fills 94 boxes. The diary chronicles every five minutes of his life from 1972 until a stroke disabled him in 1997.
Robert Shields (Diarist)
Believing that discontinuing his diary would be like âturning off my lifeâ, he spent four hours a day in the office on his back porch, in his underwear, recording his body temperature, blood pressure, medications, describing his urination, and slept for only two hours at a time so he could describe his dreams. -

Gadsby (Novel)
Gadsby: A Story of Over 50,000 Words Without Using the Letter "E" is a 1939 novel by Ernest Vincent Wright. The plot revolves around the dying fictional city of Branton Hills, which is revitalized thanks to the efforts of protagonist John Gadsby and a youth group he organizes. The novel is written as a lipogram and does not include words that contain the letter "e". Though self-published and little-noticed in its time, the book is a favorite of fans of constrained writing and is a sought-after rarity among some book collectors. -
