<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>However, the domain of the "Almanac" was never
adequately integrated or rejected. Maveric et al have been formatting the wide
variety of lists that are out there, but I can see the need for an "WikiAlmanac"
namespace (or whatever) as well. Most encyclopaedias also offer an Almanac
section (under a variety of alternate terms such as "Fact Book"
etc)</FONT></FONT></DIV>

head that would be useful - largest islands, countries by population density,
presidents of US, Nigeria, etc PMs of UK, Australia, Academy Award/Nobel
Prize/Pulitzer Prize/Booker Prize/Hugo Award/etc winners, longest rivers, etc
etc etc. There is already a vast amount of stuff in the PEdia already, and I
think it is time to start getting it all truly organised.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
