Hey,
just wondering if any one here is involved with or helping Wikipedia.
I was trying to put my project up there together with all the other
similar projects and about 2 minutes after I posted the article it was
deleted and the help on "how to contest" this deletion is pretty much
non-workable ( contact the admin who deleted the article but alas no way
to get into contact with them ).
Then about an hour later I saw another message that
"This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia
because your username, AstraNOS, does not meet our username policy."
So I can understand that Wikipedia is working hard to keep up the
quality but I almost feel excluded from partaking in the process with my
expertise.
In order to submit information you'll have to read through a pages and
pages of guidelines, and even if you make the effort you're still likely
to be removed it seems
I guess bottom line I would not contribute to Encyclopedia Britannica,
and I will not to Wikipedia.
Varol :(
