       | to see if it was worth the upvote and/or the front page.

       | Bye, I'm going down the rabbit hole for the next... minutes?

       | english?

         | A rough but easy to glance at heuristic would be to take the
         | top 100 entries from each non English language Wikipedia and
         | run them through Google translate before searching. Immediate
         | thoughts if that isn't effective are to increase the search
         | range to 1000 and throw away anything that isn't a proper noun.

         | wikipedia has links for 'this page in other languages', so just
         | looking for popular pages that are missing an english entry
         | should be a pretty good collection of those
         | 
         | of course you'd probably find a few which are simply missing
         | the appropriate reference, and it would miss out on pages which
         | have an inaccurate language reference to english, as iirc i've
         | seen a few which i would call a bit too broad

       | I hadn't heard of the Knox case, it sounds bizarre. I will have
