Wikipedia’s Porn Stash

2007_02_12_wiki.jpg

“Elements of Style” and “Charlotte’s Web” author E.B. White, who compared analyzing humor to dissecting a frog (“Few people are interested and the frog dies of it”) might have also had something to say about the deturgidifying aspects of Wikipedia’s quest to get a handle on online porn. Irregardless, as the late White wouldn’t say, there is a WikiProject afoot to, as the currently-alive Nena would: identify, clarify, and classify elements like photos (under a Creative Commons License), articles, and filmographies, in the process preferring Free Use over Fair Use and systematizing boobage.

Sounds like a lot more fun than dusting off bones in a tarpit somewhere, but not much more. - GP

    Hey, we’ve done some good! As a result of the contributions by a number of people who participate in the Porn Star Wikiproject, the Jenna Jameson article is now classified as a “Feature Article Candidate”. This means that the article’s quality is good enough to warrant appearing on the Wikipedia main page!
