Articles that you don't expect NOT to be in Wikipedia Options

[thekohser]

Just a thread to add those subjects where you fully expect there would have been a Wikipedia article about it, but there isn't.

Bob Welch songs:

* Sentimental Lady

* Hypnotized (the one made famous by Fleetwood Mac) (not this garbage)

Musical group:

* The Ebonys

Law firm:

* Jackson Lewis (over 500 attorneys)

I'm surprised nobody has written yet about Brandywine Springs. The place has a fascinating, multi-century story, tracing from Native American gatherings and legends; to General George Washington preparing promptly-abandoned defense works against the oncoming Howe/Cornwallis assault; to a fashionable spa and hotel (designed by U.S. Capitol Building architect T.U. Walker) located on the site from 1827-1853 and visited by such notables as Henry Clay; followed by a thriving early-20th century amusement park.

I'd like to write the article for a wiki, but I think this one's going to Wikipedia Review, not Wikipedia.

Let the work begin! (I believe that Cla68 is even going to help me out on this article.)

And, once again, I'm able to prove a bit of a point. If people are tired of Wikipedia's constant battlefield and cleaning up after people who can't write, they might visit a site like Wikipedia Review and establish a content page that has the ability to outrank an identically-named page on Wikipedia.

Just Cla68 and I have worked on the Wikipedia Review page, while Wkharrisjr, Thomas.macmillan, SmackBot, Phantomsteve, Briantist, Mr. Matté, The Anomebot2, Ironholds, and I have worked on the similar Wikipedia page. Which one is better? Which one is worse? Which one represents the "wisdom of crowds"?

Just Cla68 and I have worked on the Wikipedia Review page, while Wkharrisjr, Thomas.macmillan, SmackBot, Phantomsteve, Briantist, Mr. Matté, The Anomebot2, Ironholds, and I have worked on the similar Wikipedia page. Which one is better? Which one is worse? Which one represents the "wisdom of crowds"?

One reason (among many) that I cannot take WP seriously is that 98% of the editors sound like characters on “Batman.” I mean, truly, how can one keep a straight face knowing that the likes of SmackBot, Phantomsteve, Mr. Matté, The Anomebot2 and Ironholds are running amok? Just from the sound of their monikers, are these guys out to improve the quality of online scholarship, or are they in cahoots with Catwoman to steal the jewelry collection from the Gotham Museum? Holy inane pseudonym!

Sorry, what were all your various pseudonyms again?

Perhaps the distinction to make is that Horsey doesn't expect (or even prefer) to be taken seriously, the way Wikipedia expects (or even demands) to be taken seriously.
