All except Streaker now just have "notability" tags, which seem mild enough to leave. But it could well be the first step in a campaign. He seems to not have status much higher than the rest of us editors, so the articles won't be deleted without due process. If we want the articles to stay up on Wikipedia, the best defense is references to them in books not written by David Brin. Does anybody know any? ---David _______________________________________________ Jumping in here without reading the whole thread (bad form, I know, but I have no time to even be reading what I've read and replying *now*), but an amazon.com search might turn something up. It's given me stupid references to things inside books when I've been looking for just one thing in particular, so, at least in theory, that should work now. Julia and no, I don't have time to do the searches myself any time this week _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
