Calling Writers for WikiTravel.Org: Cleveland, Ohio

I was reading Clay Shirky's post on Cornate about wikis (what caught my I was 'Every time I show a wiki to someone who has never seen one, I invariably see the same two reactions: "That's pretty cool", followed seconds later by "It'll never work.") and thought I'd check for the entry for our city. Here's what it says now:
"Cleveland, Ohio is a beautiful, vibrant city on the shores of Lake Erie. It got a bad reputation in the 1970s due to a series of unfortunate events, most notably the Cuyahoga River catching fire. Ok. It didn't actually catch fire. Some debris floating on top did. Still, the name-calling continues ('Mistake On The Lake' is a perennial favorite). Like any Rust Belt town, Cleveland has endured growing pains as it makes its transition from a manufacturing-based economy. What non-locals don't often realize is that Cleveland's long history of industrial wealth has left it chock-full of cultural riches."
Is this an accurate and thorough description of our town? That site is getting tons of blogtime, is that what we want other people seeing? I proposed that all of us get our wiki feet wet by heading over and contributing something, even if its a link to your favorite website. If you need someplace to start try these Cleveland Travel Guides
