Thing 8- Wiki Stretch

I plugged in "violin" on Wikipedia and found a very detailed article including history, how the instrument is played, construction and mechanics famous violinists, etc. There's a huge list of "Contents" and a lot of links to other related articles.

The main points of discussion are whether a fiddle is a violin, if the bass is part of the violin family, tuning, etc. No interesting controversy! One contributor was interested in raising the article to "Good Article" status. I'll find out what that means...
