WikiDiscovery

James Barker and Curt Lake were working on the Wikipedia article on Megalithic cultures. They were organizing the picture gallery which was a random assemblage of dolmens worldwide. In doing so, they schematized the typical dating of the occurrences of megalithic activity throughout the world - from 8000 years ago at Stonehenge to basically present day in Indonesia and the islands of the Pacific. This lead them to uncover a series of recurring radiations of megalithic influence and to postulate the original area in which the culture arose.

As far as I know, this is the first Wikidiscovery based on WikiReasearch and WikiFunding.
