The Wikipedia Files with Lupe Fiasco from WBEZ on Vimeo.
ChicagoNow posted this amusing interview from Vocalo’s Wikipedia Files with guest Lupe Fiasco. In the video, Lupe reads over his own Wikipedia entry and confirms or denies stuff that is written about him on the page.

Thanks to JSTN, I now know that some states in the United States of America actually have official state dinosaurs. New York, unfortunately, does not declare a state dinosaur.
Also, if you have some free time, Wikipedia’s list for Lists of United States state insignia is quite interesting to go through. I didn’t know there were so many official state things.

Ever wonder what 5000 pages of Wikipedia might look like in physical printed form? Well, Rob Matthews has the answer. He took all of the articles from Wikipedia’s featured articles list and printed them and then bound them together in a book that’s thicker than any book I’ve ever seen. The resulting book speaks volumes about the wealth of information (and possibly misinformation) located in Wikipedia and how Wikipedia could exist in no other relevant form than on the internet.
