The Percepto story

Re: Crap or questionable articles
Like African subjects or obscure insect species, Wikipedia's content about notable recording studios is extremely variable/crap/nonexistent. List of British recording studios leaves out a lot of minor operations. Some of the articles listed there ( like this ) are blatant self-promotion. There is no...

Re: King kong92: A failed comeback
1. Then Wikipedia is doomed, because it cannot change with how the Internet is changing. You had a chart. Mr. Barbour, of how the number of Wikipedians was falling and I think the bottom-out point was either in 2022 or in 2019. That it still trundles on is a minor miracle. Ah, you must mean THESE c...
