I tried using "Six Degrees of Wikipedia" which will find a link through an in-page link in any article on Wikipedia



The hypothesis that "All people and things are linked within six steps via related matters and friendship relationships" is "Six Degrees of Separation(The sixth gap)"is. In analogy to this hypothesis, "Six Degrees of Wikipedia" is a visual link that links any articles with in-page links.

There are two entry fields on the top page. As long as you leave it, various words are randomly displayed at intervals of a few seconds, but you can also enter your own words of your choice.


As an example, enter Apple on the left. Then you will see candidate articles containing "Apple" as the title. Since I'm going to pick a company Apple this time,Apple Inc."Click.


Next time I will put another word in the right input field. As a result of considering whether there is somehow a distant word with the company's Apple if possible, I decided to examine the link up to "natto" which seems to be almost irrelevant. Enter "Natto" and the English version of Natto "Natto"Click.


If you click "Go!", It automatically detects and detects Wikipedia article links from "Apple Inc." to "Natto".


This time, 30 ways to reach in only 3 steps were found. The links from "Apple Inc." to "Natto" are shown. The link list can be scaled with the mouse wheel and dragged and dropped to move the node. You can jump to that article by clicking the node.


Below the linked list, the paths of the links are gathered in a form that is easy to understand one by one. For example, in the image below, "Apple Inc." → "2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami(Tohoku Region Pacific Coast Earthquake) "→"Ibaraki Prefecture(Ibaraki) -> "Natto" are linked in this order. This has a link to the article of the Tohoku Region Pacific Offshore Earthquake from the part that "iPad 2 release in Japan was postponed due to the Great East Japan Earthquake", and links from the article to Ibaraki prefecture are linked, and finally That is why I arrived at natto which is a famous product of Ibaraki prefecture.


Also, as a manufacturer of mobile phones, "SonyIf you start from a link that leads to PlayStation's game "Where are you?Character of series "Toro Inoue(Inoue Toro) "And succeeded in arriving safely at Natto because Toro's favorite is Natto winding.


On the other hand, "Apple Inc." → "Fruitarianism(Fruit diet) "→"Vegetarian Hot Dog"→" Natto "and so on, from cases of fruit-dietaryists, they have reached the natto via vegetable foods. This is the link starting from the part that Apple's founder Steve Jobs was devoted to fruit food.


By using Six Degrees of Wikipedia, you can easily understand that even words that are not related at first glance can be linked via in-page links. By entering appropriate words, it is ant also how to enjoy like a quiz to think about why such a link is established. However, at the time of writing the article, it is compatible only with the Wikipedia English version, so it is necessary to be careful as it does not correspond to the Japanese version.
