Ayu's Wiki Article to Appear on Front Page of Wikipedia

[dreamland2.0]

oh dear no one changed the picture XD
It's really neat!! yay Ayu!

I know some people might not be too fond of that picture, but there's a reason a lot of the pictures of modern celebrities on Wikipedia aren't like magazine photoshoots--Wiki has a policy about using images that are copyrighted, and most of those spiffy professional ones are.

Ah, I wish I knew if Ayu knew about the article and all...

[JackieRos]

there is nothing wrong with the pic -.-

[indyplus]

^I agree! I personally love the pic.

[lividlillies]

Exciting! I took a screen shot of it. :'D

If we sent the link to Ayu, would it still show up for her? Or is it already too late for her to see it?

In short, Ayu's article is already a Featured Article, but October 1 is its first time on the front page.

That clears a lot up. What a cool birthday gift!

It's really neat. I hope many noticed it and perhaps converted/became an Ayu fan as well?

well after London there are tons of pics of Ayu that people took, so I guessed that there could be a new one unless Avex would take them off anyways...

That's awesome, perfect, great, fabulous...<3

[gallowsCalibrator]

I took a screen!



Yay for Ayu!

[MaruyamaAki]

Simply splendid!

I JUST CHECKED THE STATS! =D
Ayumi Hamasaki's article usually gets about 2,000 hits a day. On October 1, that number not doubled, tripled, quadrupled, but increased by 60 times to 120,000 hits! =DD
