From Wikipedia Art

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.

• Go to Wikipedia Art main project page / site

• Wikipedia Art, the original post to Wikipedia (not available anywhere in their archives)

• Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Art, the keep/delete debate

• Village pump, a cry for help from the deletionist

• Attempted texts for "Conceptual art" page on Wikipedia (quickly deleted, twice)

• Wikipedia Art RIP (currently open), Wikipedia Art just before it was removed from Wikipedia

• Delete, the deleted page on Wikipedia

• Werdna, the 18 year old "old hand" that deleted the entry / art work.
  • And see an excerpt from his talk page

• Deletion review, locked and fully "endorsed" discussion / self-congratulation of Wikipedians who break their own rules in order to delete the Wikipedia Art page - because we broke their rules, which should never be allowed.

• Rhizome discussion, a keep/delete debate by artists and new media critics

• art fag city post + comments, a/nother keep/delete debate by artists and new media critics

• Protection log screen shot of the lock of the page

• History of Wikipedia Art completely erased from Wikipedia. Despite more than 2 dozen edits to the page, there is absolutely no record of its text, anywhere on the site.

• Wikipedia Art Facebook group (it's true, the real Jimmy Wales is a member)

• Wikipedia Art is dead. Long live Wikipedia Art, the main project site where Wikipedia Art has been crucified, resurrected, and lives on.

• Wikipedia Art (resurrected) (currently open), draft of the Wikipedia Art encyclopedic reference we hope to republish on Wikipedia as a performance / event / happening / work at a later date, when its notability / verifiability is irrefutable. Unlike the above pages, this is a working draft (not an archive) and thus editable by contributors / collaborators / participants.
