Wikipedia Seed Game

[stringy]

[IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/RBs1v0.gif[/IMG]

Here is a "fun" and "original" game. I like to create new games with unique seeds to see if I can find some cool worlds to share, but I have trouble thinking of good seeds.

But today I was on Wikipedia, and realized I could get seeds with the Random Article function.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random][img]http://i.cubeupload.com/yaz9xI.gif[/img][/url]

So, this thread will be a place for me ( and anyone else who does the same ) to post cool Wikipedia seeds! Pictures are welcome.

Guidelines:
[list=1]
[*]Be sure to copy the Wikipedia title without spaces before or after the text
[*]Paste the Wikipedia title into both the save's Name and Seed fields so that it is not difficult to remember the seed later
[*]Please post with the save's [b]Seed[/b], [b]Description[/b](Short), and [b]Location[/b](x,z) of Interesting Features
[*]Place your seeds in [b][noparse][release][/release][/noparse][/b] brackets so they are easily distinguishable
[/list]

[b]Please:[/b] Don't post EVERY seed you find. It needs to be worth while. Nobody wants 50 Wikipedia articles that only produce a "really wintry world".

[b]Example Format[/b] (copy and paste to form yours):

[noparse]
[release]
[b]Seed:[/b]
[b]Desc:[/b]
[b]Coor:[/b] ( 0, 0)
[/release]
[/noparse]

I have one quick one I found after about 5 seeds:

Ha, I didn't even know there was a limit on the length of seeds. So just paste it and it will auto-cut off the excess?

Norman law is some laws the Vikings made, fits with the ocean and islands.

I hope we can find some good irony in these seeds. Numbers don't allow for any humor... except for 404

I like your texture pack too, especially the water.

I'm liking it. Not too many trees, easy to flatten out. There's a really big cave system underneath it so it's a good cave-explorer map.

Here's another one!

This is extremely cool! Check out (-65,-65) too.

I cant seem to find the lava though... nvm, just found lava! Around that area are some very cool mountains and deep caves too. Definitely going in OP

Found some infinite fire near the lava too.

Probably because I put the wrong coords. Oops.

[editline]13th March 2011[/editline]

K, updated with right coords.

Also, you usually spawn in a small circular valley with tons of waterfalls and caves and waterfalls coming out of caves. Awesome.
