That's very kind of him :-)   I've removed the ones that go to domain 
registrar holding pages, don't have IPs, or have error tracebacks on the 
front page.   I haven't fixed the ones where the specific link on the 
wiki is a 404; in each case where that happened, there was a link on the 
404 page that took me to a front page that was clearly for a hosting 
company of some kind.

I spotted that the link to "Specialized Commercial Hosts" had an extra 
"]" in the URL, so I've fixed that too.


All the best,
