The multiple represenations of mfa.org:67.1006

The DNID mfa.org:67.1006 refers to a 6th Century BC Attic Black-Figure Water-Jug in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (MFA). I can find three representations of this object on the internet:

In the MFA itself: mfa.org:67.1006
An image in the online CVA: mfa.org:67.1006
In the Perseus Vase Catalog: mfa.org:67.1006

[Update: I chose the cva image because the db record requires a volatile session id.]

All three are now discoverable by searching for the DNID on Google. Or at least they will be once Google indexes this page. This blog post therefore gives an actionable identity to these combined resources. And I'll throw in the reference to a JSTOR-available article as well: mfa.org:67.1006.

Wikipedia and Google think I'm a Spammer

Here's a potential problem. I added the following DNIDs to these Wikipedia pages:
numismatics.org:1858.1.1 to Half cent coin (United States coin).
numismatics.org:1952.81.2 to Sestertius.
numismatics.org:2006.21.9 to Sestertius.
numismatics.org:1975.134.7 to Sestertius.

Now, Wikiepedia thinks numismatics.org is a source of wiki-spam and Google is following that lead. You can see this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/numismatics.org. Also, a Google search for numismatics.org lists that wiki spam report pretty high. What's worse, this google search produces no useful results. It used to list this blog post, which mentioned numismatics.org:1949.100.10.

Probable lesson: don't link DNIDs to original data on Wikipedia or you risk raising the domain's "spammer quotient."
