I wholeheartedly agree with you.  While I never was heavily involved
with writing for Wikipedia (though I have made a few minor contributions
to both the English and the German WP), the project has lost much of
the coolness it once had for me.  It is still a very useful reference,
but how much of it will stay if the deletionists continue to get their
way?  Well, we should keep up the Constructed Languages Portal and
otherwise focus on our own wikis (such as FrathWiki, whither leads
a link from the WP portal).
