From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Right now, I'm working on two articles:

(1) Rainer Ptacek, which I started after the previous version (written by somebody else) was caught for copyvio. I do have a personal motivation for writing this. A few months before his death, I got to hear him in a small coffeeshop. His musicianship was obviously fantastic, but more than that, I was amazed to see such emotional music coming out of such a serene-looking man. Of course, Wikipedia is not a place for a memorial, and I had to write this article to make a strong case for his notability. I hope I'm doing the job.

(2) Bill Monroe, which has been around for a while, but I consider to be too short for an article on such an important musicican. I'm a bluegrasser, and I do know many facts about Bill Monroe, just like any good bluegrasser should. Personally, I think that his page should be as long as that of Johnny Cash.

I've been working slowly (~5 edits per day), but I do plan to keep this up over a long period (at least a month).
