The Wikipedia Game.
No one won last week's contest. You all suck.
Speaking of which, this week you are to link from John Woo to Sucks. You cannot use year or date articles. Six Degrees claims there is a 4-degree path, but my magic number is 6. You cannot use more than 2 of the intermediate steps in Six Degrees' path.
Oh, and if you want to edit John Woo's entry to say something like "All his movies suck" or "he is the suckiest living director", I won't hold it against you, but since I must personally verify your path, try and make sure I'm looking during the .68 seconds between when you make the change and when the Wikipedia admins ban you for life.

The Wikipedia Game.
Grats to Dave, last week's winner, who will receive his marshmallows approximately never.
This week, you are to link from The Pirates of Penzance to the Inverse Ninja Law. You cannot use date or year links, or more than one of the links used in the Six Degrees tool's path (i.e. Animaniacs, Original Trilogy (Star Wars), R2-D2). The magic number is 4.
This one is really easy.

Grats to Mom B., winner of last week's contest.
This week you are to connect Sun Tzu to Zerg rush (y'know, because he invented it; Actually, I'll bet Sun Tzu woulda been hella good a StarCraft).
You cannot use date or year articles or links in the "External Links" section of the articles. The magic number is 4. And no cheatin'. Don't think I won't know if you did. It won't help you either, since it'll give you a 5-step path.

Grats to The Blue Fox, winner of last week's contest. Marshmallows will be sent in no more than 1 zillion years.
Now, certain exploits to the game have been brought to my attention, so I'll have to add some rules to make it harder. Be sure to read the rules carefully each week, as I'll change them specifically for each contest.
Even with the stricter rules, sure, you could still find a way to cheat. But where's the fun in that?
This week, you must link from Palos Verdes Peninsula to J. S. Bach. You cannot use articles for years or dates (e.g. 1882) and you must use links contained within the article text. Links in sidebars or bottom bars are not allowed. My magic number is 3 links.
A clarification on redirects: if one article redirects to another, either article is acceptable. So in this contest, both J. S. Bach and Johann Sebastian Bach are acceptable.
Oh, and Bathroom Correspondent Tom Adams is disqualified for life, for ruining the game for everyone else.

Grats to Tom who won last week's contest by virtue of being the only one who tried.

The Wikipedia Game.
Here's how it works. I will give you two articles. You have to get from the first article to the second by only clicking links in articles. Whoever can connect the two articles with the fewest links, while matching or beating my magic number, wins a bag of marshmallows*. You must provide your link trail, and no fair editing Wikipedia.
This week, you must link from RAH-66 Comanche to Chair. My magic number is 7 links.
*Like I'll ever get around to sending you any.
