How would you get your own wikipedia article started?
 
You have 24 hours to take actions that would cause a wikipedia article on you to be written. What would you do to get this done?

Rules:

-You cannot write it yourself (obviously)

-You cannot break any laws

-You must be alive and well after the article is written

How would you do it?

whats your budget? If you had like a million dollars, you could just go up to some random police officer and give it to him/her. That'd get you on the news and in wikipedia. There's lots of really stupid stuff you could do with money to get in wikipedia.

Claim that you know some secret or paranormal information involving a famous crime or phenomenom.

I doubt this would do it. People do this all the time. How many people have claimed to see UFOs? They're not all on wikipedia.

Assume your money is whatever you have now.

It seems that unless you have a lot of excess money your options are very limited

Ask someone else to do it for me.

I'm alive and well, didn't break any law, and didn't write it myself.

I win!

Good answer.

I should have included among the rules, "assume the article will not be removed due to being totally insignificant. The article should have staying power due to its significance."
