This is a list of DYKs featured on Wikipedia and credited to me as creator or contributor. The Wikipedia front page gets ~10 million pageviews a day, so having your work appear there is kind of a big deal. Here's an example of its reach.

Over the weekend, prominent placement on Wikipedia's main page launched a nearly twenty-year-old Time magazine article about Scientology onto the Time site's "most-read" list. The jump in traffic reveals both the continued popularity of Scientology-related reporting and the power of Wikipedia to bring obscure or old stories to the forefront of Internet discussion.
