Comments

[edit] why this article is of benefit to readers of an encyclopedia.

[edit] Purpose of article

The article is intended as a short article which will provide the reader with an understanding of the wikispiracy project.

• To describe the wiki in a manner that is in keeping with other articles on wikis that are currently listed
• To include the wiki in the wikipedia List of wikis page

[edit] What it is not

• This article is in no way intended as a form of self promotion. I note user:Wickethewok's comments. (I have removed the small reference to my submission of articles to the wikispiracy. This was an oversight on my behalf)
• It is not intended as a form of promotion of the site which went live (was put available on the Internet) only a few days ago.
• It does not contain any original material

If it went live only a few days ago how is even it notable? Unless 10,000 users appeared from the heavens making it an amazing event that wikipedia must report about? come back in twelve months --Charlesknight 22:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal note

I was somewhat amazed at the overzealous rapidity of this marking for deletion. I think the actual article was up for literally seconds before it was earmarked for annihilation. At least this provides evidence that the Wikipedia is an active thriving community.

I also respect the Wikipedia for being an open project. It is a project built upon open source software and open thinking. No corporation nor any government could have created such a successful project as the wikipedia which largely survives on the free energy and enthusiasm of unpaid yet very loyal people. Irrespective of what the wikipedian community has decided of and about itself, there is indeed an uplifting and empowering feeling that comes from such success. zorg 16:57, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Technical note

This project went live 15 September 2006. It runs entirely on open source software including mediawiki-1.6.8 using PHP 4 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zorgrian (talk • contribs) 11:01, 18 September 2006.
