Which Wikipedia article has the longest title?

At 61 characters, not counting spaces, I nominate: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything\_You\_Always\_Wanted\_to\_Know\_About\_Sex\*\_(\*But\_Were\_Afraid\_to\_Ask)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_You_Always_Wanted_to_Know_About_Sex*_(*But_Were_Afraid_to_Ask))

_Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex_ (But Were Afraid to Ask)\*, Woody Allen’s fourth film.

Surely we can do better?

[The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredibly_Strange_Creatures_Who_Stopped_Living_and_Became_Mixed-Up_Zombies) beats it at 69 characters.

How about articles that aren’t just the title of some other work?
