You forgot to remove k=19249 from the "still to do" list at the bottom (I did it now)

I noticed some other errors in the wikipedia article :

There are only SEVEN numbers to be tested anymore not eight : "So far, the project has found prime numbers in ten of the sequences, and is continuing to search the remaining eight."

In the last paragraph of the article : "Note that each of the these numbers has enough digits to fill up a medium-sized novel, at least." one should remove the first "the".

I corrected the page accordingly.
