Wikipedia project

Wikipedia, however, is a scarey thing. While I use it myself for anything that does not matter, I have seen too many unreliable and skewed pages to use it for anything important. Just look at most author pages and they are constructed by themselves, or worse, their publisher.

A few months ago I started studiously going through the Brisbane suburbs and making sure they link to Brisbites as well as OurBrisbane (which does just harvest Brisbites information, but doe snot giver references or links). This was very arduous and I think I only got up to Corinda. Something else to continue. Just went and had a look and some of the links are wrong anyway - so got to start again!
