I've created a wiki stub. I'd have a few people that don't have @redhat addresses make minor changes first, then you can go ahead and edit it. --Steve On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 4:41 PM, Michael DeHaan <mdehaan(a)redhat.com <mailto:mdehaan@redhat.com>> wrote: Hi folks, So I've tried on the past to get a article on Cobbler in Wikipedia. Why? So it can show up on the disambiguation page for one. Wikipedia is the #2 hit for searching for "Cobbler" in Google. Other software projects of similar size have Wikipedia pages and it seems like a decent thing to have. It turns out that my couple of attempts to write such an article get deleted, because folks think I am engaging in a Wiki War, or that I'm trying to spam things. Really, I'm not, I want to be as objective as possible. So, here's what I've been told to do by Wikipedia: -- Have some one from the community write a minimal encyclopedic article, and make sure that article is marked as a stub -- Let others expand the article, remaining concise and so forth. -- Once it is no longer a stub later we can edit it as needed. Would someone (preferably not @redhat.com <http://redhat.com>) like to take care of this for me? I would appreciate it very much and would happily add information about the population of elephants to other Wikipedia articles as needed! --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org <mailto:cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org> https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
