This was in June, maybe July. I notice since then there have been some new
entries added (equally as embarrassing as the earlier ones), so it hasn't
been a problem of time for the author. He says he encourages comments and
criticisms - maybe if anyone else lets him know of some of the
inaccuracies he'll fix them. The problem is that some other ignorant sites
have linked to his music pages, and even given it awards, unfortunately.

With respect to the maths encyclopedia you originally posted about, I
posted a question about its reliability on the newsgroup sci.math. Read
the answers there (the thread is called "treasure trove"), or ask me again
in a few days whether the boffins gave it thumbs-up or not.

best wishes, Jon
