That is : if every one is willing to co-operate!! We would need quite a few volunteers i guess
I know Yannick tried this, and several other fans, and i guess through time some of us have gathered quite a few items and it would be fun to join it all. Or would that be undo-able?

I like Lou's idea behind this...

the only trouble is and reason why i have not done any updating is 'time' - my discography on my own website is pretty comprehensive but i must have 50% more things i could and should have updated by now, but its time to do it...

even working on it, at say a track a day it would take me two months solid to just re-do, thats not counting time out to take pictures and then upload them, and thats just the music side of things, i have so many other bits and pieces now in my collection, apprael, letters, adverts, posters, mag clippings etc,. that its hard to keep track of them let alone spend time putting them on a website

and that i think is the problem everyone has, time to do it, i know Yan's been working on the Dirty site, but thats taking its time and i for one have a proper job to do

i'd be more than willing to help update something, if an easy solution was agreed on, and i really want to update my site, which i am gonna look at again (after the world cup), so keep your eyes peeled at least on my site...

in the meantime if you want to know anything give me a shout

I've updated the Spikee page with help from Raz and Mattval/BSS.

yeah we've (Stimpee) made it nice and uniform in its set up, and all of the (discography) pages should look like this i think...

the trouble is i've looked at the main Underworld front page, and that needs a nice overhaul too... its a bit 'messy'

but tiny steps first i suppose....

anyway the updated Spikee version is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spikee (i know its on the front page, but people are lazy buggers)

Could we have an official dirty.org/wiki, please? If you have the time to do it, of course!
another thing that argues for our own wiki is that wikipedia does not allow high resolution pics/scans.

This is a good idea cos it means that the burden is not just on one person's shoulders to keep it updated. Good thinking. Although I don't think I have anything much to contribute, not being all that knowledgable about releases and such, I will enjoy reading it.

I mean from a copyright point of view those kind of pics are not wanted by wikipedia. The license is printed just below the scan.

yes, can we have a wiki here please
from which thread comes this line from Scott btw?

[stimpee]

Lou: it was fromthis thread. I think Scott is talking about setting the building blocks not the content.

Jan: I know about the copyright with the pictures but there are many thousands of similar images on there and it was me who scanned and uploaded and chose the correct copyright license. They do allow high res images but prefer low-res as they say they fall under Fair Use.

Weird picture on the Underworld wiki article. Should be a picture of the band instead of that weird Freur logo.
