As some of you may remember (or will quickly find out when you go to check), I linked to an interesting video on the lifecycle of a Wikipedia article, particularly the one on the heavy metal Umlaut. For this week I will be using the standards outlined on this page to evaluate the Wikipedia page on Woodstock. Why this one? Well, a dear friend of mine brought up the point that people who say they actually remember Woodstock were probably not at Woodstock because there were drugs, man. Lots of drugs. Certainly this makes for an even more interesting evaluation.
