    Ok, here we go again.

    New Jersey Route 25:
    1) United States
    2) Japan
    3) Aum Shinrikyo
    4) Ebola

    New challenge:

    Ebola -> 1238

    Ebola
    1. Central African Republic
    2. Spain
    3. Valencian Community
    4. Kingdom of Valencia
    5. States and territories established in 1238
    6. 1238

    Note; I think you might be being a bit unfair in choosing articles that aren't typically linked to; you don't usually use dates as links on wikipedia.

    Anyway: 1238 > Wikipedia

    Hey, you found it didn't you. Dates are easy; lots of important things happen, and they almost always link to the year that they did.
