What today's Wikipedia articles reveal
Obituaries and a Netflix true-crime season own the board. Lizzie Borden, the series page, and Ella Beatty are three rows of the same story. Duncan Sheik and Stephanie Cole are same-week deaths.
The science row is the Tilcayo cat at 5. Resident Evil slipping one slot on opening weekend is a film page yielding to an obituary, not a collapse in interest.
