SIRS,
THANKS. INFORMATIVE ON YOUR PART. A LITTLE OFF THE TRACK. PRESUMPTIVELY EXPLANATORY
INDEED. NOT FRUITFUL TO MY STATE OF KNOWLEDGE.
YOURS,

Even more alternative solution: move it off of
Wikipedia altogether,
to the webspace of some brave soul who would be happy to post a list
of "articles EB has that Wikipedia does not" (they could even pretend
it was an anti-Wikipedia page!).
One could easily imagine a script which would cycle through the
articles once every few days and check if they are still red-linked,
and move the filled in ones to a different section of the page. Hell,
I'll *write* that script if nobody else will. Then we can forget the
whole question. If someone will host it.
(I'd host it myself if I had any webspace of my own which could support it)
I really don't see why this can't be hosted on Wikipedia, for the reasons
you state. The fact that it's in Wikipedia: space as well makes it clear
this is a working document, not product. If it's decided it can't be
hosted on Wikipedia, I have plenty of places to put it, thatn can run cron
jobs to run scripts to update it and so forth. (Though I'd have a hard time
pretending to be anti-Wikipedia ;-) But I do think it belongs on Wikipedia
if at all possible.
