Wiki-ville: How the world sees Charlottesville
Right now, the upstart online encyclopedia Wikipedia reports that Archie Hahn died in Charlottesville in 1955. He did, but he also lived here, coached here, took the Cavaliers to 12 state championships in 13 years, and in 1991 was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. But none of that is in Wikipedia– not yet, but there's a good chance it probably will be soon.
Charlottesville's cast of characters and institutions already shows up at least 2,500 times in Wikipedia, and the articles about us grow every day. There are entries on Howie Long and McCormick Observatory– and nearly 2,700 words on Anna "Anastasia" Anderson Manahan. But no one's penned a piece on the Downtown Mall. Yet.
But if energetic Hook readers get busy posting, that will probably change in about two days. Confused?
