[...] One of the recurring topics at The Noisy Channel is exploratory search. Indeed, one of our readers recently took the initiative to upgrade the Wikipedia entry on exploratory search. [...]

Yes, the rules, regulations, and how-to are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect.

Indeed, I'm sure there's a fair amount of opportunity to consolidate the 74 entries tagged Category:Information Retrieval, in many cases using redirects.

can you make pages of wikipedia re-direct? because this might be worth doing rather than deleting it. there is a faceted browser page of wikipedia too, which could perhaps be built into the faceted classifications page in a similar way.

Max, I just took a look at the current page, and that's a great improvement already. I'm thinking we should delete the orphanned Exploratory Systems entry and focus on this one.

I think its going to be especially useful to differentiate both the HCIR and Exploratory Search pages from each other. I have a hard time doing that myself, especially after things like interactive information retrieval have been around for some time too. I’ve got a good handle on the latter, but yet to properly identify how HCIR is significantly different! I need to do my own research i suppose

The “update profile” for the Relevance article clearly shows the recent increase in activity
