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.</span></font></p>

<br>
The project and I have been defamed on Wikipedia and the comments in<br>
this about me being hostile and various other things related to the <br>
FreeSWITCH article. The wikipedia editor is linking me with an<br>
anonymous poster and now has elevated this from my inquiry as to why<br>
he keeps tagging the article as spam to something personal.<br>
<br>
I have forbidden the core freeswitch developers from posting on <br>
wikipedia since the last time the article was tagged as spam.<br>
<br>
I would also like to point out the person that keeps tagging<br>
FreeSWITCH as spam and quick deletion has also had OpenSER, YATE and<br>
Callweaver deleted from wikipedia under similar circumstances. <br>

I feel personally damaged by this Wikipedia editors comments directed<br>
right at me.<br>

Thanks,<br>
