He gets about 2500.  Not bad, I guess.

That's true of course, but even the average reader only has to think about
what 'better than' means in the context of a musician to realise that the
relative length of articles is never an accurate reflection of their worth,
or standing, or influence.

It is a massive task in a sense.  The massive part is putting in coding
so that everything that needs to be searched can be - birth dates, death
dates, occupations, names, towns, book titles, authors etc.  I have no idea
if there work going, but I'm sure they would appreciate any ideas.  You can
mail Grove on either

<[log in to unmask]>  or
<[log in to unmask]>

With the online Grove, though, the current plan is to have a team who
constantly add, update and correct, so you never know!  Drop them a line
and see!
