It just occurred to me - I have an active experiment going with deleting random external links on Wikipedia,

I object to this more than I object to the experiment in the OP.

Bless your soul! I was completely disheartened at the disinterest of even Wikipedians in my earlier experiment demonstrating that suggestions for adding external links get ignored. Anger is better than apathy.
