attempt to create U-Con article on wikipedia

Was just trying to help [livejournal.com profile] sorcycat get an intro to Wikipedia by creating a wikipedia article on U-Con. Someone quickly tagged it for speedy deletion as not having demonstrated the significance of the event. Please feel free to join the discussion arguing for the article's continuance.

The funny thing is, the outside reference article cited is wrong - U-Con has started on Friday for much longer than 2005. It used to start Friday evening, and now runs all day on Friday, but I wouldn't have called it a two-day vs. three-day distinction.

Yeah, I fixed the text.

(That was me. I had to delete my cookies to read the Michigan Journal article since I'd accessed them too many times and am not a registered member of the site.)

Another option if you use Firefox as a web browser is to block cookies from that specific website. Though I haven't done it for the Michigan Journal, I've done it on various other websites with great success.
