Computer camp
Hi Ted, Thanks for checking with me, although I'd like to point out that you don't need any kind of formal approval to go ahead and change the article. You're right, the article text does focus too heavily on specific camps. One of the principles of Wikipedia is that "Wikipedia is not a web directory.". For this reason, I think it would be better to edit the article text to be more generic, without including a list of external links to specific camps. (In fact, I think I'll go do that now.) If someone comes up with a source for the claim that such-and-such camp was the first, or that some other camp was an important innovation, that would be fine to have in the article too. But unsupported claims about "idyllic" campuses are not appropriate. Finally, another good place to bring this up would be the "talk" page for the article - Talk:Computer camp. If other people have been watching the article, you can start a conversation with them by posting there. Cheers, FreplySpang 16:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
