Would prefer on its own wiki as this is comprehensive up to a given date.
Maybe January2001.wikipedia.org -- immediate impact.

This is definitely a tremendous asset leading up to our big bday in January. I
hope we can extract and post some of the real gems.
Thanks for the resourcefulness and the sharing, Tim.

Tim,
wonderful news!
Thank you for making them publicly available!
Of course I immediately downloaded them, and I must have a look at them

changed.
