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.

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.
