Wikipedia is a massive repository of human knowledge. The largest edition, the English Wikipedia, contains over 65.5 million pages, including 7.17 million articles (excluding redirects). Connecting this vast network are 1.63 billion unique page-to-page links. Based on an analysis of this dataset, the most cited articles on the English Wikipedia were identified.
When considering what these most cited articles in Wikipedia might be, we can assume that prominent historical topics like “United States” or “World War II” would hold the top positions. However, when the entire structural graph of Wikipedia is processed to calculate number of incoming links, or citations (quantifying exactly how many articles link to a specific page), the true leaders of the ranking emerge.
