- June 9, 2009: User:Sycamore removed eight categories, leaving only those for "Wikipedia" and "Art". Also added a template "factual" to the lead of the article, so that it now warns, "FACTS DETECTED - This page may contain factual material. In order to avoid the mental strain of processing this information, please add 'in bed' to the end of each sentence as you read it aloud." An upraised middle finger also adorns the "factual" template!

MyWikiBiz will be following up on these insertions after a period of one week (June 9, 2009), then one month (July 2, 2009), then one quarter (September 2, 2009), then one year (June 2, 2010). Any notes from these follow-ups will be posted here on this page, which we hope will be reinforced through a feedback loop on the Wikipedia Art / remixes page.
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.
