[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH Wikipedia Article

Mon Oct 8 07:53:36 PDT 2007

If they want history this article which was published in the first 
issue of Open Source Telephony Magazine.

http://www.freeswitch.org/node/60

It was authored by me mostly because It's my account of why I started
the project.  I don't see how anyone is going to learn anything about
FreeSWITCH and make it into a notable article without asking me.
I can write a book about it, have it published and if everyone learns
about it from that book it's the same issue.  If they are willing to have entries for any open source software they should have separate rules for how they are presented or not have any on their site.

FYI, the page is locked for editing and
evidently I’m considered a possible ‘sock puppet’ so I won’t
be doing any editing until the page is unlocked.  Anybody know how I can
contact the editors to let them know that I am a real human being and not
Trixter’s doppelganger? J

Also, there those who are willing and able
to post on Wikipedia who are not ‘intimately associated’ with the
project and therefore do not have a conflict of interest or a non-neutral
viewpoint.  I am one such person.  If any of the developers has an
idea or thought for a Wikipedia post, please email me offline with your
suggestions.  I will review them from my neutral, unbiased position and
then I’ll put those ideas into my own words and post them on the
Wikipedia article.  NOTE: in all fairness to Wikipedia I won’t throw
just anything onto the WP article, so if you want to see something on WP or see
it updated please be prepared to make a valid case.  I won’t be a
fascist like some of the WP editors have been, but I will be both tough and
fair.

Thanks,

MC

Hello Brian,

     Not being in the project as a developer
myself, my suggestion is: Get someone out of the project to write it more
neutraly for you, i could understand why they think it is biased, but it
doesn't mean you can not post it at all. Don't let them get away with it.

The project and I have been defamed on Wikipedia and the comments in

this about me being hostile and various other things related to the 

FreeSWITCH article.  The wikipedia editor is linking me with an

anonymous poster and now has elevated this from my inquiry as to why

he keeps tagging the article as spam to something personal.

I have forbidden the core freeswitch developers from posting on 

wikipedia since the last time the article was tagged as spam.

I would also like to point out the person that keeps tagging

FreeSWITCH as spam and quick deletion has also had OpenSER, YATE and

Callweaver deleted from wikipedia under similar circumstances. 

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Calltech)

I feel personally damaged by this Wikipedia editors comments directed

right at me.

Thanks,

Brian West
