Hey mike i noticed you like updating wikipedia for peppers.

I would like you to reconsider updating wikipedia.

1. Each variety needs a page, the list of cap cultivars should be generated automatically from each varieties page. It is too much work to keep updating it back and forth every time a pepper page will be updated... we store each variety / page in a database so entries are automatically updated
3. Wikipedia requires a source for everything and verification, not all pepper information is maintained in a journal and is done by pepper companies / backyard gardeners (see glog section on thehotpepper). Eventually after adding 200+ varieties this gets very hard to maintain and takes much time. we don't require verified sources (although they are encouraged)
5. There is not a good way for users to chime in on a variety, different growing conditions / seed sources could produce small variations. we let users give reviews and provide pictures directly on the varieties page. We also have a notification system for pages you follow/create and user tags
7. Pictures are really hard to upload with licenses required for each one. we don't remove pictures unless requested by original source, we don't require licensing information just credit where you got the picture from.
