After spending way too much time I got 9 degrees of separation. I did piggyback off of someone else's work with "Phinney". https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?source=Lion%20Express...

#335Earlier quoted context omitted.
The downside of bidirectional seems to be that things like place names are linked via short paths through boring articles like "Census designated place" or "City"
