vanilla on wikipedia

vegano

Hi,

I just noticed that vanilla is not mentioned in wikipedia.
Has someone of you experiences with wikipedia and would like to promote vanilla on wikipedia?


This could be a start point

They've deleted it twice now because Wikipedia is run by a bunch of bureaucratic jerks that don't consider TechCrunch or Business Week as legitimate sources to determine relevance. I've given up for now.

so they don't belief that vanilla is worth getting an article in wikipedia?
Vanilla is listed in the forum compare lists already... hm.
that sucks

I say protest; whenever the wikipedia elite decide vanilla is worthy we should issue take-down notices off the site.

I've been battling with them for 10 years with my own LAN group in Australia.

There's already a deleted version floating around, which means they're just going to delete yours as well.

take a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kurdish_EAgle

I don't think they will delete it this time .

Linc

I added sources to the other one too and they dismissed them as not important enough (including Crunchbase & Tech Crunch)

brwa

the article is exist so far.
there are no reasons to delete or move it.
but if you are a confirmed user ,please add vanilla's logo for the infobox.

regards.
