Is my memory going, or wasn't there text on interest groups in general? --Howard C. Berkowitz 17:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought so too, but its gone now. All I did was remove that really tacky Microsoft infobox (I suppose the pretext was supposed to be that Microsoft is an interest group?) and the obsolete Eduzendium notice which expired back in December. What is left is clearly somebody's questions for a group of students, and I have been trying to figure out if there is some subpage where this might be safely tucked away so that we can get some actual content on interest groups going here.

EZ, I meant.
While I haven't defined the term "interest group" proper, I've been creating a substantial amount of information about interest groups, and, through Related Articles, their relationships — both at the level of organizations and of individuals. There are quite a few groups that may only have a few paragraphs of article, but very large numbers of links in the subpage. Eventually, I'd hope we have some semantic or database tools for exploring the connections. For this article, a catalog structure might be most appropriate. --Howard C.
