Hi Stevie,

If you haven’t yet seen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles

then that would be a good place for participants to start from.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello everyone. 

As a part of a project that we're developing to participate in the Science Museum Lates event in November, I'm looking for a selection of quirky Wikipedia articles - think Buffalo buffalo (etc) and Toilet paper orientation, those that are odd but still have some academic or scientific merit. Participants in the session will be selecting some of their favourite lines from unusual Wikipedia articles and putting them together to create found poetry. I'm looking for some of the quirkier articles that might be fun for this, so if you have any suggestions please do let me know! 

Thank you,

Stevie
