Yeah, I kind of maybe cheated slightly. I clicked on the link to Harvest Records to check out what other bands they were involved with, and decided it would be significantly easier to find Pink Floyd and go from there.

Now you have a choice between one of these two:
Methylphosphothioglycerate phosphatase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or
Greenwich Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

16 Clicks. 4 of which were a loop.



Now for some happiness:
Brighton Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Mo-Nercy]

My first random gave me a bit of a head start, I think.
I accidentally shut the first article that I had randomed to begin my path, so I can't give you the link to that, but it was some album by a British band that drew their inspiration from:

Doctor Who - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BBC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UK government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sport in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Basketball League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brighton Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, including the first missing article, 7 clicks.

New article: Keratocephalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Raistlin]

Yeah, I kind of maybe cheated slightly. I clicked on the link to Harvest Records to check out what other bands they were involved with, and decided it would be significantly easier to find Pink Floyd and go from there.

Research is not cheating, and is almost necessary for some of the more obscure articles.

Anyway, this one was not quite as big a pain in the ass as I was expecting, though I had to do a little research first so I wasn't blindly searching throughout all dinosaur periods.

Gayniggers from Outer Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT: Wtf wrong thread. Oh well, bask in its glory.

[Raistlin]

I looked up the old GHF thread to recall Doomgaze's link list for the target page of "liar" (an epic 40+ link search) and I noticed we let people arbitrarily pick the new target page, which I had forgotten. And I don't see any reason against it, so feel free to arbitrarily pick a new target however you wish (whether by "random article" or not).

From the 6-degrees of wikipedia site:

Based on the "1971 in music" link, it looks like they used a category link at the bottom of the page, which is cheating. Besides, I don't think anyone would actually go looking for a link to "Liar" via Marvin Gaye's music. xD

I'll give some more people time to try MILF's target before trying it myself.

[Xaven]

I gave up on Mr. Blomberg. :<

[Mo-Nercy]

Finally got there. Went around in a little loop after Denver Seminary turned out to be a dead end for me. I'm also getting pretty sick of just linking out to the wiki entry of the country of whatever the target is and working in from there. Next time I'll try to go about it more creatively.

Also since,

I noticed we let people arbitrarily pick the new target page, which I had forgotten. And I don't see any reason against it, so feel free to arbitrarily pick a new target however you wish (whether by "random article" or not).

I'm going to suggest that the next target be the one of my favourite musician/singer. Should be easy. xD

Jay Chou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[Raistlin]

Yeah, picking your own is fine. Just try not to make it too obscenely difficult or easy.

This one took longer than expected, because I had an awful starting point which required three clicks just to get to a country.
