Welcome To Wiki-Hunt! The game that is a result of excessive boredom along with a keen interest in general knowledge.
What happense is, you must sift through random wiki links inside wikipedia pages to connect two totally unrelated topics or subjects or objects.
Ok, I will start the first WikiQuest that one has to finish, and the first person to finish it will have to set up another one for the next person.
First Wiki Quest, You must connect:
'Bogdan Raczynski' to 'The Big Lebowski' movie.
Go!

Let us see your sources: Stylus magazine - some American website run by some man.
Slate magazine - a random website magazine. Calls it I.D.M not IDM Describes Squarepusher as he is limited to software on his laptop. Squarepusher is famous for his ::::Akai sampler ability. Not often use computer for making music. This is wrong, this man who wrote this article doesn't know much about what he's talking about. The writer runs an I.D.M. record label in America, he is not someone who understands Aphex Twin very much.
Rolling Stone - a famous printed magazine, good source.
Let me see now, it says Aphex Twin was the pioneer of techno and ambient electronic music before but that his new album drukqs is not very good in the journalist' opinions. Here he has said what music style Aphex Twin is. Then later IDM is mentioned to refer to the fans of Aphex Twin because they made a rumour of him putting the fake songs on the internet. What the journalist is mention is the IDM list discussion email chat and the WATMM and xltronic message because they call Aphex Twin IDM and they make up rumours about Aphex Twin.
Let me see some good sources: http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,,2100257,0 0.html
The Guardian - famous newspaper in Britain well known for high quality journalism all over the world (but also famous for its typo). Here Aphex Twin described as: "Occupation: Electronic/techno rock musician". rock is a typo.
http://arts.guardian.co.uk/fridayreview/story/0,,734809,00. html
"Richard James, aka Aphex Twin, is the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music."
IDM is not mention. http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/music/story/0,,2087326,0 0.html
News story by Louis Pattison, famous journalist works for NME, Melody Maker, Amazon, The

these kinds of quests are pretty easy once you realize there are some very broad categories on wikipedia
bogdan > living people > hu > next 200 > next 200 > david huddleston > big lebowski
next challenge: connect the article on nation of islam to the uncanny valley.
