I agree with the Wikipedia idea. Although I have not authored any new articles, I have edited and added to multiple others that were in not so great shape. I think this is good community service precisely because Wikipedia has such a large audience, and it is incumbent on those with the knowledge to improve this public resource. Furthermore, the state of organization of the ethnographic edged weapons material on Wikipedia is poor and could use some high level editing. Even the simple creation of "stub" articles for expansion by others would be beneficial. I know several of you, perhaps many, who have the skill to do this well. I urge everyone on this forum to become familiar with authoring and editing Wikipedia. It is easy and rewarding!

Best,

Dave A.
