Just a quick note to say that wikipedia’s policies are stunningly poor. When they deleted my Quake 3 engine source project from wikipedia I was shocked by the fact that there is surprisingly little effort on the part of the Wikipedia administrators to even understand what they’re deleting, or why they’re deleting it. In fact all they’re required to do is post some baloney text like:

13:03, 16 June 2007 Anthony.bradbury (Talk | contribs) deleted “Ioquake3“(content was: ‘{{db-copyvio|url=http://ioquake3.org/?page=home}}{{db-spam}}The project, ioquake3 (or ioq3 for short,) aims to build upon id Software’s Quake 3 sour…’ Also this is an advertisement)

What is that? My open-source project’s entry on wikipedia is spam?! What the heck are they smoking? But that was just the first time the entry was deleted, apparently every few years some new jackass wikipedia admin comes along and decides he is the one to delete whatever he feels is a waste of e-paper, destroying the entire content and history of the entry based on this latest baloney:

Oh, I see, so now an open-source project is just an “unofficial mod” Clearly I created a project 4 years ago just so I could trick wikipedia into linking to it. Baloney, wikipedia. If a bunch of sci-fi trivia is notable enough to take up e-paper on your bullshit encyclopedia then so is the work of hundreds of contributors to an open-source project.

Of course when the person who deleted the ioquake3 entry is so busy deleting wikipedia entries he has to have a note on his talk page saying “Please do not ask me why I deleted a page.”it is perfectly understandable. There doesn’t need to be any checks or balances on wikipedia, just administrators who can delete the entire content of a page as they see fit, for any reason.
