Drill down don't query
Welcome to townoak.com. townoak.com allows you to get a fuller picture by drilling down rather than just creating a quick query on the name of a person or place that you want info on.
First you select one of the official five types of nouns to drill down into. Those types are People, Places, Things, Animals, or Ideas.
People as an example. Next you select one of the fifteen categories of people. Let's say you selected townoak.com/scientists. There currently 7 categories of scientists plus general scientists. Now you might select townoak.com/scientists/biologists. This page will come up with female biologists sorted by date born. The townoak.com/scientists/biologists/m0000 link will take you to male biologists. Some people categories have multiple year(s) categories such as townoak.com/entertainers/m1973.
Places as an example. townoak.com has links to 15 places drilling down to Cook County, Illinois(where Chicago is). The biggest group is townoak.com/superclusers which is a "large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups". Maybe you want to drill down to Nicollet County, Minnesota. You could start at townoak.com/solarsystem then go to townoak.com/3 since earth is the "3rd Rock From the Sun". Now you would got to townoak.com/northamerica. Next you would go to townoak.com/us(use can drill down to any country in the world this way by replacing "us" with the ISO 3166 two-character code for any country in the world). Then to townoak.com/mn, finally to townoak.com/mn/nl for Nicollet County, Minnesota.
Things, Animals, and Ideas can be drilled into in similar ways.
Townoak is what my last name means 'auf deutsch,' at least according to a letter recollecting Europe in the 1940's. Stadt means city or town, eich means oak. According to the urban legend in this letter, my ancestors lived near some oaks at the edge of town..
Among other things, townoak.freeservers.com contains a list of countries, regions, and cities from which people have going to townoak.com pages since November 2018. Based on info from analytics.google.com.
I also decribe these pages and subpages as "a facebook-style frontend for wikipedia". Most pages are like this with usually about 5 pictures across with brief captions under the pictures which contain links to either subpages or ultimately wikipedia pages.
