It has been a while since I posted here (lurked a lot though). The strangest
things keep getting me back to visit the boards. One of these things is

I was editing some Wikipedia pages and for the fun of it I looked up LEGO. I
noticed that there are pages for Bionicle, Technic and Mindstorms but no page

Wikipedia’s article.
Comments and suggestions are welcome, wiki-edits too (keep the Wikiquette in
