The Wikipedia article of the day for December 27, 2015 is Kent, Ohio.
Kent is the largest city in Portage County in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is part of the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area and the larger Cleveland–Akron–Canton Combined Statistical Area. The population was 28,904 in the 2010 Census and slightly higher in the 2014 estimate. Part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, it was settled in 1805 as a mill town along the Cuyahoga River and later named Franklin Mills. In the 1830s and 1840s, the village was on the route of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal. Franklin Mills was an active stop on the Underground Railroad before the Civil War. The city was renamed in 1864 for Marvin Kent, who secured the maintenance yards of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad (depot pictured) for Franklin Mills. Today Kent is a college town best known as the home of the main campus of Kent State University, founded in 1910, and as the site of the 1970 Kent State shootings. While historically a manufacturing center, the city's largest economic sector is now education. Many Kentites and Kent State alumni have risen to prominence in business, sports, and the arts.

The Wikipedia article of the day for December 26, 2015 is Andrew Johnston (singer).
Andrew Johnston (born 1994) is a British singer who rose to fame when he appeared as a boy soprano on the second series of the British television talent show Britain's Got Talent in 2008. He sang "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem in the finals. Although he did not win, he received a contract to record on the SyCo Music label owned by the Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell. Johnston's debut album, One Voice, was released in September of the same year, and reached number four on the UK Albums Chart. Johnston was born in Dumfries, Scotland, and grew up in Carlisle. He became head chorister at Carlisle Cathedral, and was bullied at school for his love of classical music. While some journalists have argued that Britain's Got Talent producers exaggerated Johnston's rough background, others have hailed his story as inspirational. In 2009, he graduated from Trinity School. He sings in the National Youth Choir as a baritone and studies full-time at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Buzzing: Ranking the Films of Quentin Tarantino, From 'Reservoir Dogs' to 'The Hateful Eight' Posted by Tonzey

Ranking the Films of Quentin Tarantino, From 'Reservoir Dogs' to 'The Hateful Eight'

Quentin Tarantino is very conscious of the cinematic legacy he's building. His new movie, The Hateful Eight, is labeled in the opening credits as "The 8th Film By Quentin Tarantino."  We count nine, actually, because we count the two Kill Bills as separate films, and it's nearly impossible to rank them. Everyone has a favorite Tarantino joint, but there's really not a misfire in the bunch. And to think we could've tossed in True Romance and Natural Born Killers, two other revered Tarantino screenplays that made it to the screen in the hands of another director — Tony Scott and Oliver Stone, respectively.  The Hateful Eight, which opens on Dec. 25, is Tarantino's second consecutive Western. Is it better than Django Unchained? It it his best film since... Pulp Fiction? Scroll through to find out.

The Wikipedia article of the day for December 25, 2015 is Sisters at Heart.
"Sisters at Heart" is the 13th episode of the seventh season of Bewitched, an American Broadcasting Company fantasy television sitcom. This Christmas episode aired on December 24, 1970, and again the following December. In one storyline, Darrin Stephens (Dick Sargent) fails to land a million-dollar advertising account after a toy company owner mistakes a black woman for Darrin's wife. The man changes his attitude after Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) uses witchcraft to make him see everyone, including himself, as having black skin. At the invitation of Montgomery and her husband William Asher, who directed the episode, "Sisters at Heart" was initially written by 22 black students from Jefferson High School (pictured), a school in a poor Los Angeles neighborhood. This episode, Montgomery's favorite, received the Governors Award at the 23rd Primetime Emmy Awards. Montgomery's biographer Herbie Pilato wrote that the theme of overcoming prejudice is central to Bewitched and that "no [other] episode of the series more clearly represented this cry against prejudice".
