i totally agree with the organising - at the end of the day, keeping
something on wikipedia is really about how many numbers you can muster
who are prepared to vouch for something.
& thanks tim for volunteering to help. here are a few to start with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furtherfield - has been deleted, reposted,
& survived a second (or third?) deletion attempt; currently flagged as
an orphan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberformance - survived a deletion attempt
in september last year, but for some reason is now tagged as reading
like an advertisement, which is bizarre.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_art - i forget the history of this
page, but it's struggling - currently has 3 flags on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UpStage - currently flagged as an orphan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life - needs citations
& those are just the ones that i've been trying to keep an eye on - i'm
sure there are loads more ...
