Mike Linksvayer *himself* is to blame for the non-liquidity of his Wikipedia prediction markets.
Mike Linksvayer:
Prior to the Wikipedia community vote on adopting CC BY-SA it crossed my mind to set up several play money prediction market contracts concerning the above outcomes conditioned on Wikipedia adopting CC BY-SA by August 1, 2009, for which I did set up a contract.

“Collective Forecasting”… becomes officially our second industry keyword starting today —I decreeted that after a good slurp of Bordeaux wine.
In homage to our good doctor Robin Hanson (I am too good, I know), I let the term “collective forecasting” appear in the description of the LinkedIn group on prediction markets:
This group is for anybody who have a strong interest in prediction markets (and collective forecasting, generally) or works in the prediction market industry. Everybody [...]
Some thougths about Amazon.com

What prediction markets can learn from Twitter — REDUX
S-I-M-P-L-I-C-I-T-Y + C-U-S-T-O-M-I-Z-A-T-I-O-N
Twitter is a very simplistic core. Around that core is a whole ecosystem that adds value to Twitter. You have a large choice of “Twitter clients”, and there are plenty of websites out there that complement the basic Twitter service.

What prediction markets can learn from Twitter
S-I-M-P-L-I-C-I-T-Y
