[nice little potted history of the [[Wik]] affair snipped]

Am I alone in thinking this really should be recorded somewhere for 
posterity, if not on :en: then maybe on :meta:?

I would also like to have access to similar potted histories for 
[[Michael]], [[Lir]] and [[Plautus Satire]] (although I understand 
[[Michael]] is undergoing some sort of rehabilitation now?) whose names crop 
up repeatedly with the assumption that everybody knows who they are and what 
they did.
