Libertines Wiki:About

From Libertines Wiki

“It looks like you're single-handedly trying to build the pyramids” – Tom_Kittens from Albion Arks forums, when I showed them a preview of The Albion Wiki in mid-2008. The Albion Wiki idea started in February 2008 when I realised there was so much knowledge, facts and rumours about The Libertines, but not all in one place. Since then, libertines.org, thelibertines.org.uk, DirtyPrettyThingsBand.com and libertines.twinkling-star have all closed down. It's amazing to have an archive where all information about The Libertines (and their related bands) can go. And so, on 21st December 2008 (7 years to the day when The Libertines were first signed to ROUGH TRADE), The Albion Wiki opened with around 400 articles.

We've now been open for a year and a half in which The Albion Wiki has taken an incredible journey. The database has been extended to include information, lists of versions of tracks (and where they can be downloaded), track lists, lyrics, tabs, lists of release dates, artwork, related interviews, related reviews, related articles and more! The number of pages on the site has more than doubled, with hundreds of new pages being added each month and the site now including over 1100 pages. We’ve also had over 600,000 page views and over 7,500 edits made in such a short space of time, making for some amazing statistics!

Please note, I do NOT pay for the server costs for The Albion Wiki, which are paid for by the admin at Albion Arks. You can help them (and me) out by contributing towards their server costs. You can do that here.
