Let's play a game! Wiki Race!

Here's the way it works. I post a random link once a day. Then I tell you the target page on Wikipedia. You must get from the provided link to the target page by clicking through the links available on each page. You count the number of clicks (posting the link to each click would be nice). Whoever gets to the target in the fewest clicks wins that day.

 

You may not do any of the following:

  1. DO NOT use the Wiki search box.
  2. DO NOT use any of the links outside of the page's contents. The contents of a page are demarcated by gray lines which intersect to make the page box. DO NOT click (for example) "Help", "Donations", "Related changes", "Category:..." etc.
  3. DO NOT visit external websites. You must stay within the bounds of Wikipedia.
  4. DO NOT use the backspace or back arrow to return to a previous page. History is bunk in the Wiki Game (unless a referee or an opponent demands a recount).
  5. DO NOT click on dates e.g. 2001, as these pages are too broad to pose a challenge.
  6. DO NOT employ automated search tools to find a path for you.
  7. DO NOT edit the start page to insert a link to the home page.
  8. DO NOT use the ctrl + F function to search for words.
  9. DO NOT use countries e.g. UK, Canada, United States.

So there you go! Do you win anything? No. It's just for fun. I mean, someone can sponsor it if they want, but I'm bored.

 

Here's the starting link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netravati_River

 

And here's the target: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Azenberg

 

Have fun!

Here's an example. Let's say the start is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoichthyology'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoichthyology and the target is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation.'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation.

 

I start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoichthyology

 

My first click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics

My second click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_sector

My third click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_agency

My fourth click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_agencies

My fifth click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service

My sixth click is to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail

And my final click is to my target: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation

 

So I went from my starting point to the target in 7 clicks.
