great to work with him. He is good in communication and payment is never a concern.


We need a script that will scrape wikipedia entries into mysql DB for Music/Movies/TV Shows/People.  

Example: band name/person for music will grab everything about that and store in db to be displayed on web page(it would be seperated such as genre, description, images, etc).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_cent

Example: movie name for movie will grab everything about that and store in db to be displayed on web page(it would be seperated such as genre, cast, direction, description, images, etc). example page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Blart:_Mall_Cop

Example: tv show name for movie will grab everything about that and store in db to be displayed on web page(it would be seperated such as genre, cast, description, images, etc).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_and_a_half_men

Example person name for people will grab everything about that and store in db to be displayed on web page(such as what TV shows/movies they were in, description etc).

We do have a index of title to grab for tv shows/music - but will need to spider/grab from imdb for movies, then auto spider/scrape people based on tv show/movie casts info from imdb/wikipedia.

Must work quickly and with good communication.
