Congrats to the PoliceWiki...

...if I do say so myself!

Today we hit 10,000 unique articles on the site! (Thanks, of course, to Dietmar.)

http://www.policefans.org/Police_wiki/

Of course many of those articles are just stubs or templates in need of a lot of work...which is where everyone can come in and help...but I am pretty pleased by the amount of work that's gone into it so far. The timeline data is especially awesome. Browse by year and there's just a shit-ton of information on concerts, appearances and other events.

Congrats, guys!

On a related note, did I see a post from Dietmar somewhere about the book "by Miles" saying it's not Miles the 3rd? Can someone elaborate? That was my first-ever Police book, I remember ordering it from some book club that sold rock music books and reading it over one weekend! Still have that book!

Never mind, in those days before the internet we had to be glad for every book that came along. And besides, it had lots of photos. And it one didn't fall apart as this one did:

Thanks guys for the Wiki!

I have at least one copy of L'Historia Bandido in pristine condition. Is it worth anything? I have been meaning (for years) to put it up on e-bay but never got round to it.
