Apple was an engine of innovation from about 1976 to 1991 with overlapping breakthrough projects (1976-1983: Apple I/II) (1978-1985: Macintosh) (1986-1992: Powerbook). It then entered a period of decline, reaching a nadir in the mid-nineties.

No, just profoundly sad that Wikipedia is in what seems to be an inexorable decline. But idea-based projects generally have about seven years of innovation before they lose steam (see SRI, Xerox PARC, GNU, Apple). Perhaps Wikipedia will enjoy a rebirth, but I expect its natural successor to emerge under a different umbrella. Fortunately, the important thing for posterity is that Wikipedia's core assets are under a free license.

The deletion log helps in cases like this:

"OTRS Courtesy blank"
What probably happened is that someone who was unhappy with some of the things said in the heat of the moment e-mailed the Wikipedia OTRS service and asked for a courtesy deletion.
The entire discussion needed to be deleted, apparently. The page now
reads
"The result was *delete*." with the rest of the deletion summary in
html
comment.
I'm officially weirded out. :)
