So, I'm checking out the Kiss section because I was looking at Toby Wright's discography and he did on of their albums. I noticed that There was a link at the bottom of the related articles called "book" Once you click on it Wikipedia assembles a PDF of every related article. I wonder how many there are? I only looked for Rush other than the Kiss one and there was one of those too. This doesn't sound like a bad idea to collect these things. Rush http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... &writer=rl Kiss http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... &writer=rl (I also have a copy of Rush - Visions I found if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.) |

Or you could just read Wikipedia. Sounds like they are getting desperate to bring in funds. |

It's free and it puts articles in the form of an ebook. That to me is a lot more appealing than a never ending constantly changing loop of hyperlinks that make you feel like you knew less about something than before you started. It guarantees you have covered all the bases on a subject. Plus this way you can create a new one annually and expand upon the area of knowledge and have an archive too. You can share these books with other people and assemble your own versions. I think one dfay I'll get around to assembling an audio engineering one since I know damn near every thing that would need to be included and what definitely does not need to be. I don't see how this is anything but good. Hell, A real expert could easily assemble a book, streamline it, add more information and actually have it published with all the extraneous work cut out. |
