Wikipedia posted an article, Sunday, 27 August — about their new experiment learning about what is searched on their site — using Wikicharts for analysis.

5 of the first 10 topics are about sex. At least:

List of gay porn stars, Oral sex, Sexual intercourse, Wii, Human sexuality.

OK, Wii probably isn’t about sexuality. Make it 4.



  1. Geoff says:

    Woo-hoo! Stan Lee beat out oral sex!

  2. 2xbob says:

    Woo-hoo! Pluto beet Stan Lee!

    Sorry, I couldn’t resist that.

  3. J says:

    I would love to know the religious status of the people doing the searches. That would make this REALLY interesting.

  4. Doug says:

    I am flabbergasted. People are interested in sex? And I thought all they cared about what American Idol and Britiney Spears.

  5. PillCounterD says:

    And you think Britiney Spears has/had nothing to do with sex?

  6. James Hill says:

    Wii. Ha!

  7. Matt H says:

    I’m wondering how accurate that search engine is.

  8. Rand al'Thor says:

    Wii? Can we not stop joking about the name already??

  9. James Hill says:

    Oui Oui!

  10. Angel H. Wong says:

    Help the cause, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_community

  11. joshua says:

    why David Bowie?

  12. saurabh says:

    Dude, I don’t think that thing works. Check out the numbers it shows:
    http://tools.wikimedia.de/~leon/stats/wikicharts/index.php?ns=articles&limit=10&month=08%2F2006&wiki=enwiki
    They’re way too round to be real. Plus, it’s only been running for a day or so, so even if it WERE real, the statistics would be heavily biased and non-representative.

  13. dee says:

    and…as always americans show their unique way of saying “i love being ignorant and i don’t care”. a few months agos everything was american idol and britney…but…britney’s been dead for months

    greetz

    BTW: Pluto indeed has more important things to doiscuss than anal sex anyways

    So I want to know does any body else use wikipedia and what for?
    what was the most informatibve artical you found there?
    What was the wierdest one you found?
    I use wikipedia mostly durring my lunch time at work to just read up on stuff. the most informative artical I found was on the mineing and refineing
    process for copper (because I learned about the job I have, and got to show off to co-workers ;p) the most interesting was probably on cheese witch I
    actualy e-mailed to my self so I could finish reading it after work.
    oh well, got wiki?
