I would suggest the Ultimate Band List
(
http://www.ubl.com) and Rolling Stone
(
http://www.rollingstone.com) for bands, as they both
have useful profile sections. They have Alexa ratings
of 2600 and 1700 respectively, and it might help draw
people to our 'current music' articles, which are
woefully lacking and stubby.

Jimbo has just appointed me "content partnership
coordinator" for the
Wikimedia foundation. It's a semi-official function
which basically means
that I try to negotiate useful relationships with
companies or
organizations who might in some way be interested in
distributing our
articles. The benefit for us: backlinks.
I have tried to establish contact with
Amazon.com
and IMDB. If you have
any other ideas for websites which might be
interested in our articles
about
- books
- movies
- CDs
- bands
- people
- places
- unusual sex practices,
especially sites getting a lot of traffic, please
let me know. I may also
be able to help with other Wikimedia projects, if
there's any partnership
potential there.
I consider it my responsibility to try to establish
working relationships.
I am not, however, interested in coordinating
enforcement of the FDL
(yuck). I will work on the basis of
Wikipedia:Copyrights in negotiating
terms.
As soon as we have some results, I will establish a
special page on
Wikipedia to describe these efforts.
Regards,
Erik
