it could be anything. from article about matcha to kantele.

you can quote something interesting from there too! like certain section you like, for example. 

Baltic psaltery is a family of related plucked box zithers, psalteries, historically found in the southeast vicinity of the Baltic Sea and played by the Baltic people, Baltic Finns, Volga Finns and northwestern Russians.

"Matcha", also called fine powder tea or powdered tea, is the most common spelling, and accords with Hepburn romanization of the hiragana まっちゃ. In Kunrei-shiki romanization (ISO 3602) it is "mattya". "Maccha" is a nonstandard and uncommon spelling.

(Lunatone)
"Lunatone is a cream-colored, rock Pokemon with a crescent moon shape. In the center of the crescent is a pointed, beak-like structure. It has deep-set, red eyes, which can cause paralyzing fear or induce sleep.

Lunatone lives in caves and becomes active under a full moon. The moon increases its power, and its health is tied to the lunar phases. Using its psychic powers, Lunatone floats through the air. It was first discovered at the site of a meteor crash. There's a theory that Lunatone may have originated from outer space."

oh my, i have a lot of favorite wikipedia articles. some of my favorites are 1952 Texas Gubernatorial Election, Bitwise operations in C, Monumento a la Mexicanidad (sadly, this article doesn't have an english version), and Timeline of the far future.

some of these are my favorite because they're funny, some of them because they're useful, and some because they're interesting!
