    Default Let's make a Wu-Tang Wikipedia

    I've been thinking about creating a Wu-Tang website with everything from in depth articles, history, rare songs, video interviews, magazine interviews from back in the day and loads of other shit that is at the moment scattered across the web in loads of neglected parts of the web. I'd also like to include more technical information regarding each albums recording sessions/equipment/locations etc etc.

    It would be cool to have a site that people can contribute too.

    Other sites for other artists that show what sort of info we could add, i've linked to below.

    https://www.rhcpsessions.com/
    http://web-old.archive.org/web/20140...-movement.net/

    What do you think? I know there are 1 or 2 existing websites that do this, but they are pretty incomplete and haven't been updated in years.

    Man, I literally was tihnking about it 2 days ago. I know the Wiki protocol and I know how to edit site. I don't know how to make the site but I could definitely help in editing and finding out rare stuff.

    I'm glad you think it's a good idea!

    I'm wondering if it should be an actual wiki...or rather a more website with different sections, much like the rhcpsessions website i linked to in my first post.

    I'm thinking at the very least we should have a discography section with a page per album. Which would include:

    - Press (magazine scans/photoshoots/video interviews/text interviews etc) from the album
    - Information on the recording sessions/equipment/producers etc.
    - Alternate tracklists i.e the bulletproof wallets confusion. B-sides/demos.

    Anything else you can think of? i had more ideas but my mind is blank now.

    This. This is exactly what I have noticed. I can look into getting some webspace, a domain and installing a wiki.

    That way you could register and run it.

    Though nowadays you do have to watch out with copyright.

    mediawiki might be the one for the job if we do want to use a wiki format.

    I was talking about this stickied thread in WuChamber about sample sources of Wu songs

    https://wutangcorp.com/forum/showthr...mple-Originals

    there's just so much good info here, I think it should all be preserved, perhaps on the new Wu wiki page

    Sound like a good idea.


    Recently I saw a small OB4CL app in development mode.

    Basically a virtual booklet (Node.js, Svelte and some various libraries)

    Yeah I would definitely love to contribute to sample section! Civlaringz knows a lot of Wu trivia and sample-related stuff. Maybe he could help
