Yeah, I find that annoying, too.
Like this one time when I found an excellent article from the Mayo Clinic about Tinnitus, so I run over to the Wikipedia article about it and find a detailed article. Aww, so much for that!

So ... written any good articles lately?
I actually decided to take a break from both Arbcom and paying job over this long American weekend and write some articles. Mostly filling in gaps in our railway coverage - I'm knocking [[EMD MRS-1]] into shape, which is a fascinating locomotive built for the US Army in the Fifties explicitly to be able to run on captured Russian railways in the event of World War 3. Since the war never happened, they sat in storage for 20 years and then got used all over the place when sold off as surplus, once the USA realised that such a land war was not going to happen.
It also brought into focus that for all our seemingly exhaustive coverage of matters military, non-modern non-combat units of even the US Army are almost completely ignored and hard to research. since everyone seems only interested in the pointy weapons and not the logistics machine that makes it all run.
So much for 1.5 million articles meaning there's nothing left to add!
