[edit]I see on the fund's Facebook page ([1]) notices of many projects sponsored/funded by the fund. It should be possible to find newspaper or magazine articles about some of those projects. Wouldn't such references be adequate? Hordaland (talk) 00:57, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- Certainly, provided (a) they cover the Common Fund in detail and not just in passing (b) and are not regurgitated press releases. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:58, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

- Thank you Hordaland. I should have started it in a sandbox. Are you happy doing this, or would you rather I did it? --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 14:54, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

The archived funding opportunities pages can be found as well.
