I have been using Wikipedia from history-lessons to actual Bioogy research, and found a nice article on scale modelling. I got thinking (dangerous). I already collected a huge amount of information on modelling that lie in a big, ugly mess on my hard drive, wainting to be sorted out. Right now it's easier to find the needed info one the web than on my computer, but the information is there -I guess most of us are like this. There's a very good way to organize all this know-how, which would benefit us all.
Why doesn't people (meaning us) start to expand the scale model article? All the techniques, tricks, small secrets could be collected in one, easy to use, easy to access database from all over the world -in one language. With the permission of the authors photos and whole articles can be incorporated -with total credit given, of course.
I'd start it, but since english is a second language for me I'm not sure how to name the articles properly for example. But I can help expand it :)
So? We start it, and who knows where it ends?
(The articles on armour, helicopters, etc sometimes are very vague - look at the sad little page about the Leopold gun. Modelling these we accumulate a great deal of knowledge about the orginals - these could be entered in Wikipedia as well.)
