Longest Wikipedia article title

by Joe Sutherland

This might be cool to social, possibly. Originally, the holder of this was: To authorize the President to extend the term of the Agreement for Cooperation between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea Concerning Civil Uses of Nuclear Energy ... But that was moved <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=H.R._2449_(113th_Congress)&diff=…> to "H.R. 2449 (113th Congress)" (by our own Neil Quinn, in fact!) in 2014. The current holder <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> is a Japanese pop song called... Suzukake no Ki no Michi de "Kimi no Hohoemi o Yume ni Miru" to Itte Shimattara Bokutachi no Kankei wa Dō Kawatte Shimau no ka, Bokunari ni Nannichi ka Kangaeta Ue de no Yaya Kihazukashii Ketsuron no Yō na Mono ...So, the social proposal is... *Twitter*: • The longest page title on the English Wikipedia belongs to a 2013 single by Japanese group AKB48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi… <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> *Facebook*: • As well as peaking at number one on the Oricon charts in Japan, at 209 characters, this song's article has the longest title of any article on the English Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi… <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzukake_no_Ki_no_Michi_de_%22Kimi_no_Hohoemi…> Joe -- *Joe Sutherland* Communications Fellow [remote] joesutherland.rocks | @jrbsu <http://twitter.com/jrbsu> | +44 (0) 7722 916 433
