Just created this article. I still have plenty I can add and several sources I have ready to hand but have not gone through yet. Hopefully in the next couple days. I'll add to-do items here as I come across them. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 02:15, 24 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Not sure how to work in, if at all: David Byrne has a work of art inspired by this story (also here at Google Books). --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 02:15, 24 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Could you explain in the lead why this essay is so important? Who says so? I'm sure it is, but we need to show notability for DYK. Is it true that the Chinese encyclopedia analogy became famous.... because of this essay? I have guessed ... so please correct Victuallers (talk) 17:24, 24 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
