all dates, turns all punctuation (including subpage slashes) into
spaces, googles for the result, and looks for links to "wikipedia."

There's an easier way to do it, just parse the web server logs, pull
out all of google referrers, and remove all of the ones which have
"&start=" in them, that will give you those linked to from the first
page of a google search.
