I Created a Wikipedia article on Lemmy
I Created a Wikipedia article on Lemmy
Prepare it to be filled with shit on its developers being communists.
FYI, I posted about it on the wikipedia subreddit. Maybe will gain a few new users! https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/100z59y/lemmy_software_a_federated_reddit_alternative/
I'm happy to see that the draft for the Lemmy article that I started came in useful.
I was under impression that the process on Wikipedia is that draft gets improved until it gets accepted. But ok, going directly for an article seems to work as well.
Since draft is no longer useful, it should probably be deleted, right? Any idea how to request it's deletion? I checked around some templates. There is a not-yet-accepted template for proposed draft deletion and a rejected template for proposed draft deletion. So I have no idea what the actual current process for proposing draft deletion is.
It looks like you're just supposed to redirect the draft page. See here, #17
Ah, I see you already set that up. Thank you 👍
Now let us observe how much more activity will there be around this article now.
I just realized that only Lemmy wiki article before the english one was in basque.
Awesome! I tried to do this awhile back and the article was rejected because not enough news sources had written about it.
That was my first thought, but it looks like there's at least 5 non-lemmy sources. I don't know what the minimum is though.
This is great! Thanks for creating this page.
I noticed on the Fediverse page that other projects like pleroma, honk, and zap don't even have articles. That's pretty disappointing since pleroma has been around nearly as long as mastodon and the other two have been around a while too (though not nearly as long). I tried writing a pleroma article years ago, but there weren't enough references and frustratingly, I don't think much has changed since then.
Cool! Surprised they approved it this time.
edit: might want to also update this disambiguation page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(disambiguation)
Awesome! Now we need more languages! Do you know if it is required to have sources about lemmy in any specific language in order to make an article or it is enough to have English ones?
This is great! Love having something I can send people when trying to introduce them other than me trying to explain it.
