Wikipedia Project

For my wikipedia project, I'm going to be doing a page about my old band, The Gary Busey Experience. I plan on talking about CD releases, history and shows. The band was around for approximately 2 years, and went through many significant changes and events that have made history at Emerson college for the years we were around.

some other bands that are on wikipedia from the boston area

Wiki's dont work

How do I know this? Well this wonderful project we just had, I did ALL of the work on. I mean AAAAAALLLLLL of it. I didn't mind though, because that just proves my point. Wikis are not an effective means of communication, because if people dont remember to update them, then no one can communicate. If we had 20 minutes to sit and talk to each other, we could have sat and done the entire project in that time. But instead, we had to do it on a wiki. So I wound up with a ton of extra work, that I shouldn't have had to do myself.
