Who is going to work on Wikipedia?

   I checked out wikipedia.org earlier tonight, and was surprised to see how few Allis Chalmers tractors had pages.
Here is a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Allis-Chalmers_tractors 

You will see a list of the AC tractors that were manufactured. The tractors listed in blue have links, but the tractors listed in red have no links or pages about them.

I think it would be great to see pages built for each of those tractors, especially if they had pictures of the respective tractors.

I don't feel like I'm qualified...so who is going to step up and fill in some of those empty tractors? Especially those folks who actually own those tractors, and can post pictures.

I understand that anyone, anywhere, can create a page, or add information, once you register with wiki.

Ideas? Thoughts?

	Yeah, you should have seen the Kentucky Football Wikipedia page last year. It got just down right comical.

	ACD19, Are you talking about this page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allis-Chalmers_Manufacturing_Company I think that page needs some editing and additions. AC was such a leader for so many years.
