This Wiki (in progress) serves as an archive of the Wikipedia Art entries and discussions as they existed on Wikipedia, both in its 15-hour existence on that site, as well as the few debates in the days that followed. The work now lives in a different form. The following linked pages are copies from Wikipedia articles with similar or the same names (see individual pages for more), from Feb 14-15 2009; they are, accordingly and in good faith, licensed under GFDL.
