The idea I have now (july 26, 2006) is to automatically link every word on wikipedia. By clicking on a word, you will get a list of possible additional pages to read.

Advantages

[edit]
  • No need any more for wikification
  • No disturbing links (such as years or irrelevant words), because everything links.
  • Automatic disambiguation through category scheme (on the article chemistry the word mole (unit) is reached quicker than mole (animal). Or through rough estimate of meaning of the word. Of course this is a very difficult part of this!
  • Include my older idea of a single list of interwiki links - not so many bot edits any more.
  • If the word does not link on wikipedia, look at Wiktionary first.

Difficulties

[edit]
  • difficult in programming: expressions which consist of several words, eg. names! A smart programmer will find a solution for this... Or we can link these expressions by hand, just like now.
  • This is best viewed with preferences: no underlined links.
  • Please try how this feels with your mouse... please ignore small colour difference in the links. *Everything should be the same colour!

Karel Appel (April 25, 1921May 3, 2006) was a Dutch painter, born in Amsterdam. He studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten there from 1940 to 1943 and had his first show in Groningen in 1946. He was influenced by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet; he joined the Nederlandse Experimentele Groep and joined CoBrA in 1948 together with Corneille, Constant and Jan Nieuwenhuys (see also Aart Kemink). His 1949 fresco in the Amsterdam City Hall caused controversy and was covered up for ten years.

In 1950 he moved to Paris and then developed his international reputation travelling to Mexico, the USA, Yugoslavia and Brazil. He is particularly noted for his mural work and lived between New York and Florence. He died onthe 3rd of May 2006 in Zürich, where he was living at the time. He is buried at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
