The latest xkcd (http://xkcd.com/1485/) is about the Wikipedia article for bromance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromance), so I guess we should add that to the list :)

We’ve received a lot of great community suggestions since this campaign started last week -- and are particularly grateful to Pine, Nemo, Fae, Geni and other community members for their generous contributions. :)
We now invite you to add your +1’s for suggestions you think are the most insightful:

Simply sign your name next to your favorite suggestions, for sharing with a wide audience on Friday.
And we could still use a few more articles, quotes, sounds and videos, if you have any last-minute suggestions.
We welcome your contributions until the end of today, at midnight PST. Tomorrow, we will prepare a blog post with our top picks, based on community and team feedback — and publish it on the Wikimedia Blog and on social media, on Friday -- just in time for Valentine’s day.
As a result of this experiment, we may find new ways to curate and share information on specific themes, combining the wikis, our blog and social media.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this community-created love collection!

Perhaps ask at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#XKCD_i... ;) (In other words: I'd rather not.)

I think it's kind of hard to predict XKCD's effect on Wikipedia content, since it varies strip-to-strip. I think in this case though it's probably best we avoid sharing since it actively promotes vandalising the article.
