New Wikipedia game!

Enter your last name into the Wikipedia search; link your favorite result here. Relevance be damned, go for :eek: if you want to – I did. No, really, my last name appears on that page. :smiley:

Bleh. Mine are all boring. Just people who share the same last name. Yours is cool.

There’s a Benson-class destroyer named after me! The USS Mayo. Who knew?

Well, Mr Vagina, here is mine:

Meh, when I do it I just get a laundry list of famous people. I guess my last name is kinda common.

Same here, and it doesn’t have anything for my Dopename. I tried my family’s original name (i.e.: what in the old country) and I got a list of gymnasts at the 1908 Olympics (last guy for the Norwegians). I wonder if we’re related.

Here’s an interesting one (and no, my last name is not Wycherley):
William Wycherley

I get nearly 3000 results. So here’s one picked at random. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wylde_Green_railway_station

I have an entire stub devoted to me. Read it and weep.

Hee, possible. I tried my dopename, and then my mother’s maiden name. Apparently all very common. Then I tried the name I’ll have when I get married. No dice. Urgh!

I was referring to the gymnast. :slight_smile:

One for my Dope Name

and here is my real name
Both kinda boring, but the real name link was edited by a distant relative of mine. (Grandfathers, half brother’s Grandson).

Behold: Scotland at the 2006 Commonwealth Games

:confused: :dubious:

My last name is extremely common, as well as being a common - very common - English noun.

So, I get a disambiguation page. With, 2, 3 dozen entries on it. My first and last name also leads to a disambiguation page. With a dozen or so.

My surname is far too common. My full name yields:
Red telephone box

Leeper

And the physical description is dead-on.

I hate when I have yellow feet. :mad:

:smiley:

My Dope name gets me nothing. My last name gets me a list of people with the same last name, or simply the information that my last name is another word for penis. 'Cause I didn’t learn that in grade school. :dubious:

71176 results, and the first several pages have the name in the title.

Some other time, perhaps.

Come for a cruise on my Spruance Class Destroyer! A Pirate-free vacation gar-un-teed!

Me and this well-known writer share a surname and a couple of ancestors back in the 16-1700s.
