Tony Rees Key folk figures absent from Wikipedia? (124* d) RE: Key folk figures absent from Wikipedia? 02 Apr 21


Hi Sandra, well it's not my list, it is the set of names in the UK "Guinness Who's Who of Folk Music", published in 1993, uploaded as one possible "yardstick" against which Wikipedia's current coverage (in terms of artist articles) can be assessed. Comments are awaited with interest, as the northern hemisphere wakes up and we Oz folks settle down to a night in front of the telly, then off to bed!

One observation - of course if I had used another source, I may well have ended up with a different list. But the main "big names" are certainly there, along with a possibly representative percentage of the smaller ones (50%? 20%? how many are out there... as well of course as others who have emerged post-1993).

Cheers - Tony
