    Writing an encyclopedia...

    One of my hobbies is helping to write Wikipedia... and I wondered if anyone would be interested in having a go?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceroc
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Jive

    And, because it's the most important subject on the forum...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipsters

    But there is no mention of trousers sitting very low on the hips?

    Either you missed it, or it is a very responsive site:-
    Hipster is also a fashion term from the early 1960s for trousers or a skirt that sits on the hips rather than the waist.

    Why does the Modern Jive entry say "Men are discouraged from dancing the female role."???

    The "Ceroc Modern Jive" folks set it up. Anyone can contribute. The content is copylefted. It's a nice idea and deserves a plug or two here.

    It is a fantastic idea by RockHopper (one of the mods) put into action superbly by Robert I think you need to me a member of the CMJ Forum to contribute (this is to stop spam)

    Correct you do need to be a member of the Ceroc & Modern Jive Forum to contribute - we were having a lot of spam when first setting up the CerocWiki

    How's that work then? How can you spam a Wiki? Were automatic bots making changes, or what?
