#2I'd also like to see them ordered chronologically rather than alphabetically, so that we can see the progression through status as the startups get older.

Some are fairly safe bets, though - if a company is defunct, it's not coming back. Same goes if it's purchased. And funding events or major press mentions are probably noteworthy enough to include.

#5Someone has gone in and added a "status" column.
Everything in that column should have a date, at least an approximate one. There's too much on Wikipedia that's written in present tense. It should really be called "exit", not "status".

Monthly updates of active projects would be reasonable. I'm curious which projects are dead, which wouldn't need to be updated often :-P

Yeah, I figured it was un-Wiki-ish of me to complain about wanting one and not actually create one. I filled in what I know, but that still leaves a lot of holes.
And I'd like status to include things like funding rounds, usage milestones, etc, because many companies are still thriving without an exit. But you're right, there should be a date on everything.

If someone sends me relevant info to the email address listed in my profile I will be happy to throw it into wikipedia.

I voted down pg on his own site. That was fun!
