Sent that from my phone while waiting to see Sherlock Holmes (quite good, but I had trouble understanding some of the dialog for some reason). If I set it up, who volunteers to have magical powers over it? I'd like to see a couple of people from the list (or vouched by list members) as administrators.

I think you can make a good case to keep it, since it involves a major character in a series of popular science fiction novels. If we want to keep it, the thing to do would be to tie it in better with other articles. The Hoon article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoon_(fiction) could say something like "The most detailed references to the Hoon appear in the Jijo series. The major Hoon character in those books is Alvin Hph-wayuo, who..." (This should be brief, but lets you link to the Alvin page.) The pages for the books should also link to Alvin's page. But wait, the entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity%27s_Shore is just a stub... O.K., so maybe the problem is that a case can eventually be made for Wikipedia to keep the page, but that the related pages aren't detailed enough yet. I can see developing a Wiki devoted to the Uplift Universe in the meantime, and copying its content onto Wikipedia as time passes. ---David ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

I found most of what I wanted to know about Anathem on the Anathem Wiki at wikia.com. Maybe that's a good place for us?

Re: The wikipedia trolls may win again :-/
I could host it along with the list. I even set up a wiki there, which I'm not using.
