Re: [Freeswitch-dev] [Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH Wikipedia Article
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.

Don't let them get away with it.

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.

Because you posted about it, you are relegated to either a sock puppet or a single purpose account (ie only posting on FS and nothing else). However, with that said it is being discussed for deletion, with one FS member advocating that deletion. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you!
