[interesting note: as I was reading that part and clicking back and forth, this rather excellent section disappeared from the Wiki entry--edited out. It described the rampant persecution of homosexuals in the 1950s and 1960s. Gotta love Wikipedia.]
The Wikipedia article isn't bad, all things considered. But you'll also find good stuff here, here, and a documentary here.
Use this as an open thread.

One of the things I do love about Wikipedia is the history function, so you can see the edits happening. The deletion you describe seems to be a concerted effort by one, possibly vandalistic member, and their edits are being restored almost as fast as they're being made by a group of others.
Not a surprise, perhaps, that the anniversary would trigger attention on the article: something to watch out for!
