No idea Simpo - but it is good, I was on there for half an hour yesterday. Even thought of making a Vanburn Holder page ... cos they didn't have one.

Well quite! I was wondering how to keep my Vanburn off the ground...

It is quite good... funnily enough it has a really complete article about the author I am writing my dissertation about (an unknown chap whose secondary bibliography is just a couple of articles). Only problem with the Wikipedia article is that the person who wrote it did not read the book properly and hasn't got a clue about the geography of Spain. Now, that is the danger of a source like Wikipedia: if you are not knowledgeable about the matter you will believe what it says when actually it may be wrong! I tried to amend the article but could not be bothered in the end...

Well, you can't complain on one side and not contribute on the other
It's just like in real life: it's not them who make it, but us.
But then, in real life, it's indeed only a few people who create and arrange things.
