For example, all articles could have a tab called "influences". In the case of the article on Copernicus, users would be free to list hyperlinks to other articles that complete the sentence
"Copernicus influenced_____."

"______influenced Copernicus".[...] Any thoughts?
It's an original idea, but I'm afraid I don't really see the major usefulness in it. It sounds like little more than a funny toy, and for that I doubt it's worth the implementation effort.
How do you define "influenced" anyway? Just about everyone and everything has in some way influenced some broad subject, say [[Art]] or [[Mathematics]], and Art and Mathematics in turn have in some way influenced just about everything...
