Yes, it's true, I explain myself poorly. In a more understandable summary: Wikipedia is amazing. General music encyclopedias, no. If I absolutely had to create one, I would only provide data, but I would prefer not to make one, and I would prefer they didn't exist. I don't mind specialized databases, because with ten people or more, focusing on a specific type of sound, genre, or movement, it can be done. Think progarchives.com or similar. Because the guitarist of Depeche Mode is a god in his genre just like Robert Fripp is in his, but how can one say if one is better than the other, given that they aim (and succeed) to produce completely different things? So Wikipedia, being general and covering all fronts, would be better if it only provided sterile data, and not nonsense like "Slash rightfully enters the top 10 guitarists of all time." W.pedia remains an excellent project, with of course some minor flaws as is normal given the difficult task it attempts to fulfill (for the sake of argument: why don’t you try to create an encyclopedia with 9 billion entries?). I condemn much more some crap from Lester Bangs (not that he only wrote crap, but some are terrifying and he himself retracted several of his statements), or Scaruffi, or anyone who ventures into games too large for one person.

Rating 5, because you also gave me the link. Socrates, the point is not "he did it the wrong way," but "he did it wrong." The ranking of the 10 greatest guitarists of all time doesn't exist, so on a "site" that claims to be an encyclopedia, nonsense like "he rightfully enters the ranking," no thanks, is false information. Page editing can be done; just register and inform the staff which entry you want to publish or correct inaccurate information. A guy I know is working on the Wikipedia page about Mike Patton, for example. Of course, it will be yet another exaggeration from a fan. Then, I don’t know how it works for other topics, but musically speaking, Wikipedia is hilarious. A serious and democratic music encyclopedia is simple to create: discography with release years and band line-up, number of records sold, collaborations, and other bands of the members. That’s it. The rest is all personal opinions, which have little place in an encyclopedia.

Only if you tell me what Travel Is Dangerous is like. And don't tell me you didn't know it was out, because I won't believe you.

Clearly, they have the server in Spain, where the porrito only needs a "monital." Now we should start a discussion on the question: is the rest of the world more advanced, or are the Spaniards more advanced?

It seems blatantly dictatorial to me, absolutely the opposite of democratic. Since it's someone who writes that nonsense, it's just him who publishes it, and he alone states that thing, without even a counterpoint. A dictatorial judgment, with no chance for rebuttal. You have quite a peculiar view of democracy.

You are right Qzè, you are entitled to half of the Jackpot. The Wikipedia page is infinitely sad; any musician is listed among the top ten of all time, they are all the best in their genre, they are all part of history. They should filter fan submissions better, especially if they want to present something serious. As long as we’re on debaser, it’s fine, but a site that promotes itself as an encyclopedia cannot spout colossal nonsense like including Slash among the 10 greatest guitarists in history. Or even better, “Today with Velvet Revolver he has opened his talent to more modern sounds, while never forgetting his roots.” Modern sounds in Velvet Revolver are bordering on the inconceivable.

Monitorica, from Monitor. You are present on its monitor, so you are monitoric. And that is the second correct answer. The prize pool keeps getting more and more enticing.

And who the hell is Saputello? This trend of having specific nicknames for reviews is so annoying.
