Capturing History In Wiki

Capturing History and Images in a Wiki Thinking Out Loud.Donald Noyes.20121005.0902

This edit utilized a drag and drop mode, where the text, then the photo were inserted via Double Clicks, no typing or key strokes required.

From Space.com site:

FCR nn - Flight Crew Returns 20110524 - 15 Photos

FCR 04 - Floating - Credit: NASA/Bill - Ingalls - The Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft is seen as it lands with Expedition 27 Commander Dmitry Kondratyev and Flight Engineers Paolo Nespoli and Cady Coleman in a remote area southeast of the town of Zhezkazgan Kazakhstan, on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.

This is meant as an example of how wiki could be used to capture news and photos in a wiki. Additional editing can be performed, as in the removal of the space between the first and last name to make a Wanted Page, and the removal of a comma and a space between the city locale and the country locale. This is to make the strengths of Back Linking and search available. In a wiki which allows the mixture of letters and numbers, (as does the Smallest Federated Wiki), additional links might be made of the capsule as SoyuzTma20 and the mission Expedition27 could also be done.

I am not proposing the use of such on Wards Wiki, since such would be Off Topic. It is On Topic however to illustrate how something like this can be done using wiki framework, and keyboard-less, mouse enabled drag and drop.
