This article has now been linked from the main page for nearly 36 hours and I'm planning to remove it shortly. I just thought I'd check if there are any comments from editors here about whether this is long enough. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think 36 hours would be getting long for anything on the MP. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other than perhaps keeping it up another 8.75 hours until midnight, there's no time like the present. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 15:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bacon number?

Does she have a Bacon number, as in Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Has it been reported in a reliable source? Smallbones (talk) 04:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna laugh if she has an Erdos number, too. :) Protonk (talk) 04:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No idea of even how to find her Erdos number, but excuse me for my laziness. The Oracle of Bacon gives a Bacon number of 3:

Beate Eriksen was in Plastposen (1986) with Sverre Anker Ousdal was in The Island at the Top of the World (1974) with Donald Sinden was in Balto (1995) with Kevin Bacon

so I guess the question is whether OoB is a reliable source and whether it's relevant? Smallbones (talk)

Unless anybody objects, I'll add it in tomorrow. Smallbones (talk) 04:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not really relevant. Since it's running a script on a database, it's basically original research – in other words, it's demonstrably true that her Bacon number is 3, but no human being outside of Wikipedia has written about it. Noisalt (talk) 12:50, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bacon numbers are fun but meaningless, because most folks in show business have very low ones, it's unencyclopedic noise. My own Bacon number is no higher than 3 (a few ways), may even be 2 but he's worked with so many folks and I've never spent more than a few minutes looking into it, smirking. Gwen Gale (talk) 12:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, some people (obviously no fun at all) objected so I won't put it in. But did you know that she almost certainly has the highest Wikipedia Bacon ratio (Wikipedia article number divided by Bacon number) and that it is exactly 1,000,000? As always, Smallbones (talk) 14:15, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now we're talking! If you add that, I will fight to the death to keep it in. Yours, Noisalt (talk) 23:05, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What about Kevin Bacon's Wikibacorato? :) Protonk (talk) 23:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undefined, though some might say infinitely large. Actually, if we could write a new article on User:Gwen Gale her Wikibacoratio would be higher than a million. Smallbones (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I left the 'i' out for grins. It's fun to say either way. Protonk (talk) 03:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

C'mon guys. I'm not one to pull out the 'not a forum' rule, but you're making me hungry. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 14:39, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3.5 millionth article? What was it?

This honestly needs to go up in the milestone box. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 05:16, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
