Agreed. There is far more value in retaining this content in Wikipedia
than deleting it.


Starting back around 2007 after the Political Economies of Peer
Production in Nottingham, Paul Hartzog, Rick Adler and myself started
thinking about what it would take to make a "wikipedia version 2",
which essentially could be a way to connect close to any website into
a distributed resource. We figured out a way to get halfway there with
Nearlinking and interwiki links, and the "wiki net"several years ago
in wiki communities online. It worked technically, but people drifted
away and largely lost interest culturally. I think mostly because the
"wiki net" simply took too much work to sustain over time. The
approach needs automation and a sound distributed architecture.
