Summary of 1st week
The process of collaborative intervention yielded few results thus far. Three of the seven wikis paid no attention to the insertion at all. Three witnessed an editor making "wiki-gnome" adjustments to the wikitext code, so that the article would be somewhat more appealing to the reader's eye, but not substantively altering the message conveyed by the original article. Only Uncyclopedia took cautious steps toward interactive play; flipping the bird to readers, and playfully offering a tongue-in-cheek recommendation to verbally add the words "in bed" to the end of each sentence.
Summary of 1st month
Torpor continues to define the process of collaborative intervention via publicly-accessible wikis. Google Knol received some attention of a self-promotional sort from an artist who contributed a baseball card to the project. And, while it is peeking forward in time, there are some developments happening in the week following July 2, including the deletion of the Wikipedia Art article from the Uncyclopedia.
