Ok, sure, that explains it but I still don't understand. Surely there are lots of non-tech blog spam that would be just as salient as "Wikipedia page title" with no associated conversation starters.

It feels like karma farming which is pointless on this site after the first 500 or so.

I'm just saying there could be more context to this, or at least some sort of general announcement that says, "sometimes we put links to interesting wiki pages on the site just for the heck of it. If you see one, read it and come in and talk about that"
