Are we going to list every unfortunate murder victim in the world on WP? Why?--Light current 02:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Are we going to complain about every entry that doesn't interest us? Why?

The point of this WP entry is not simply a listing of an "unfortunate murder victim." The principal interest of this story is that the internet was employed to solve a decades-old Jane Doe/missing persons case, one which the state forensic anthropologist had told to me personally would never be solved. And yet it was solved, primarily by the efforts of amateurs in a manner that mirrors somewhat the development of Wikipedia. The story was interesting enough to the editors of WIRED magazine, perhaps because they appreciated the technological angle to the story as well. --BAW 21:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

The artist Matt Bauer has a music album inspired by Barbara Hackman, so we suggest an edit to expand this stub: something headed like, Barbara Hackman "in popular culture," with text like, "Matt Bauer's folk music album The Island Moved In The Storm is inspired by Barbara Hackman [1]." The citation would direct to the entry for this album on Bauer's label, La Societe Expeditionnaire, at http://la-soc.com/releases.html#009. This entry explains how Bauer uses Hackman's story. Right now we are new to WP and do not know how to edit the page, so we will leave it at this suggestion. Also, while we have not looked, maybe there are other relevant instances of Barbara Hackman/Tent Girl "in popular culture," aside from the forensically oriented WIRED magazine article.
