As you certainly know I don't have a homepage to display my collection.
The collection is growing - there are more than 2200 chips in it now and no way to present it.

Some years ago I started to make pictures of my chips for Wikipedia.
I'm cooperating with an experienced Wikipedia author (he is a memeber of this forum now).
He decides which chips are required for articles and I take the pictures.

Such a division of labor is very practical - there is no need for me to bind the pictures into the articles manually.
Furthermore I don't have a temptation to spam the whole Wikipedia with my pictures Wink

Have a look...

Yes, I fully agree - and this is the main drawback of having the pictures on Wikipedia - you need to follow the order of the house. Smile

The linked page is only a by-product of my work - it is mainly used for internal maintenance purposes.
The pictures are sorted according to Wikipedia category sorting criteria and licensing issues (OTRS).


BTW: There is always need for article writers and photographers at Wikipedia. Any interest? Wink
