I got:
Jozef Zeydlitz - a Polish military commander
Jablonka, Podkarpackie Voivodeship (not making that up)- a village apparently. This is the whole article-

Quote:
Jabłonka [jaˈbwɔŋka] (Ukrainian: Яблінка, Yablinka) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dydnia, within Brzozów County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Dydnia, 7 km (4 mi) east of Brzozów, and 39 km (24 mi) south of the regional capital Rzeszów.[1]
The village has a population of 1,100.

Shizuo Yokoyama - a general in the Imperal Japanese Army, and
Panboli - a panchayat town. Another short article-
Quote:
Panboli is a panchayat town in Tirunelveli district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Demographics[edit]
As of 2001 India census,[1] Panboli had a population of 8530. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. Panboli has an average literacy rate of 66%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 75%, and female literacy is 57%. In Panboli, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age.

That was interesting.

Didn't even know that there was a "Random article button" on Wiki.

That could be... a whole new form of divination...for the 21st century! Like numerology, astrology, tarot cards, magic eight balls, fortune cookies, etc.

Your first random article may somehow relate...to your destiny! :o

I got "Luc Bultanski".

Born 1940 he is a French sociologist, and founder of the "Pragmatic School" of French Sociology. And he is the brother of the French artist Cristopher Butanski.

Never heard of either him, his brother, or the Pragmatic School of French Sociology before.

Quote:
Pais

For other uses, see PAIS.

Many of today's Pais vineyards are located in the Bío-Bío river valley.

Pais is a red wine grape that has played a prominent role in the Chilean wine industry. Up until the turn of the 21st century, it was Chile's most planted variety until it was overtaken by Cabernet Sauvignon. Today it is most commonly used in the production of jug wine in the Bío-Bío, Maule and Itata River regions in the south. The grape is sometimes known as Negra Peruana. In Argentina the grape is known as Criolla Chica.[1]
HistoryEdit

The Pais has one of the longest viticultural history in Chile, believed to have been brought to the region by Spanish conquistadors from Peru during their colonization of the continent in the 16th century. Ampelographers believe that along with the Criolla Grande grape of Argentina and Mission grape of California, that the Pais grape is descended by the Spanish "common black grape" brought to Mexico in 1520 by the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. That early grape was then cultivated by Spanish missionaries and spread throughout the Americas. The Pais remained Chile's primarily wine grape until the emergence of the Bordeaux wine varietal in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[2]
Viticulture and wineEdit

Pais produces a thin bodied, rustic red wine that typically has a light brown coloring. The grape's thin skin does not provide much extract and vineyard owners typically harvest at much higher yields than what would be needed to produce higher quality wines. The grape is valued for vigor and ease of cultivation, producing 8-13 tons per acre even with limited amounts of irrigation. It is mostly consumed domestically but some sweet dessert wines have been exported in the past.[3]
