editSimple! Just copy the template below, and paste it at the bottom of this page with your own details filled out. What we are looking for is a link to the Wikipedia page which answers the question best. For example, if the first question was "This man is the current President of the United States of America", you would post
- George W. Bush - I searched Wikipedia using the Wikipedia search function for "United States of America" and saw in the caption to the picture in this subsection that George W. Bush is the president.
If you already know the answer to the question you must post a way to find it on Wikipedia. You do not need to post all the grunt work and all the failed efforts at finding this information; only post the path you took that directly led you to the answer you believe to be correct. Also do NOT edit anyone else's answers. I will be checking the History of this page frequently, so don't even bother. Here is the template. Please copy and paste it to the bottom of this page, and insert your answers!
