Got yeah - well I see a link on the projects page that goes to:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US-Marketing/Projects/SCCU/

That was a page your created - it shows as empty right now - how it got
that way I don't know. 

I also see a few of sub-pages, and they have data:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US-Marketing/Projects/SCCU/Indiana
and also Wyoming, Wisconsin, actually looks like you got all 50 and of
those a dozen or more have actual links, with Indiana having a couple of
sub-pages. (Georgia, Deleware, Florida, Conn., Al, Ak, AR, CA, CO)

So - if all the states used to be referenced on the parent page SCCU,
then it looks like it was dropped. I believe there was a lot of work on
the wiki, not long ago, as spammers showed up strong and I think a full
version upgrade happened also, a lot of admin going on in other words,
at the site. (there is a separate delete log if you really want to
follow up on that)

you know, since the sub pages (By State) already, maybe instead of using
the SCCU page for a lot of information, we already have a state listing
on the MS-Marketing members page - could add a link to the SCCU sub-page
at each state entry there - just a thought, since it looks like someone
is going to have to link those sub pages in somewhere, or they are as
good as lost?

let me know how I can help.
