What today's Wikipedia articles reveal
Tennis replaced anniversary reading at the top of the encyclopedia. Six of yesterday's top 10 were September 11 pages. Today only two remain (ranks 2 and 7). The new cluster is the U.S. Open: Shelton, Rybakina, Sabalenka, Tiafoe, Bryan Shelton.
A second cluster is celebrity parenthood: Polansky at 4 and Lady Gaga at 6. Vishwanath & Sons is the odd film title, tied to a September 11 Netflix drop rather than Flushing Meadows. The board is a Sunday sports home page with one OTT leftover, not a memorial page.
