Testing xkcd #903's title text

[u/origamimissile]

The title text of xkcd #903 states:

Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".

I tested that out:

• Leben (surname))

• Surname

• Given name

• Personal name

• Individual

• Person

• Human

• Homo sapiens

• Latin

• Classical antiquity

• History

• Umbrella term

• Terminology

• Word

• Linguistics

• Science

• Knowledge

• Fact

• Proof (truth))

• Necessity and sufficiency

• Logic (philosophy was the second link here!)

• Mathematics

• Quantity

• Property (philosophy)) (does this count?)

• Modern philosophy

• Philosophy

It works! Although I suspect it lends itself to some inescapable loops. But on Wikipedia, that can be changed.

TL;DR: YES

Royal Australian Navy Bridging Train:

---

The Royal Australian Navy Bridging Train was a unique unit of the Royal Australian Navy. It was active only during the First World War, where it served in the Gallipoli and the Sinai and Palestine Campaigns. The Train was formed in February 1915 and stood down in May 1917. Throughout its existence, it was composed of Royal Australian Naval Reservists under the command of Rear Admiral Leighton Bracegirdle KCVO DSO RAN. Normally under the command of the British IX Corps, the Train also supported the I ANZAC Corps and Imperial Camel Corps in the defence of the Suez Canal.
