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


Why so much animosity (from a very small coterie) to the idea of providing a compact, referenced introduction to something written by people who know about it? Are Dick and Jim equally opposed to the DNB and the New Grove?

I mentioned one folkie who has so far been served rather badly by the Wiki model - Alistair Hulett. Most likely because the writer only knew about the first half of his career and didn't think to tell anyone outside Australia what they were doing. That can be fixed. On the other hand, this one is about as good as you could get within the space because Anne stayed put and information about her isn't scattered around the globe. What is there here for Jim or Dick to take exception to?
