Most entries are associated here with real-world institutions, but
primarily in the interest of supplying context rather than implying formal sponsorship by the
citedinstitution. For
museums proper (category D), this official sponsorship is a given --in facta
criterion for
inclusion in the category. It's true as well for most other entries in this list , but two classes
ofpotential exceptions
deserve note. For virtual collections (category E)
orjump-lists
(category B), one cannot invariably assume sponsorship or endorsement bythe organization that
"owns" the server
