Does logging in not help?
Nah you can edit articles without logging in, ive done it before, you just need someone to authorise/ verify it i think
It didn't fall off, it merely became insufficient at it's purpose and got a bit droopy...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexus - as you can see, was just a quick test last night. I have to run out soon to try and find my first car, but if I am home for tonight, I will try to do some more.

It won't let me create an account from this IP address. Nevermind, I've got a bit going on at the moment so I'm not sure how much time I could give to it anyway.

Ie, it was considered a test page, which isn't allowed.12:01, 9 July 2010 Lectonar (talk | contribs) deleted "Hexus" (G2: Test page)
Guys, as much as I appreciate the effort going into this, you really have to read up on how the process of creating an article works - they scrutinise things, particularly for new users. In particular you don't create a test page where the read page is going to go, you use your userspace for it.
If you don't read up on how to go about creating an article, they'll just delete it, rendering your noble efforts wasted.
So we need at least some preliminary content mapped out and written before setting up the page...?

Yup. There are sandbox areas or user pages to test things. Then you just copy the content into the proper location.

The next thing it'll get tested on is notability:

Sorry guys. My bad. Will read up on all that then I guess we should start putting content together.

If anyone has questions about HEXUS please feel free to shoot me an email and I can provide some facts if it helps. (Make sure they are questions I can answer.. )
Have e-mailed DR for some information.
Taking this, from the old thread, with the information DR provies, should be able to add some decent information to the History section. A couple of sections can be and will need updating, just wanted an idea of what people thought about the general layout? : -
Hexus.net is one of the largest UK based technology websites, it provides daily news updates and a variety of technology related articles. The site is arranged by category using the Hexus.[category] moniker.
==History==
<I honestly have no idea about this, i think a staff member would better off filling us in!>
==Articles==
Hexus regularly publish articles in a variety of, generally technical, topics. Longstanding features of the site include Hexus.gaming and Hexus.lifestyle. The content published on Hexus.net includes news, reviews, guides, interviews and industry tradeshow coverage. More recently a video section (Hexus.tv) was added to the site, streaming interviews as well as trailers for upcoming hardware and games. In January 2008, Hexus.channel was created, providing readers with more business orientated news, such as stocks/shares analysis.
==Hexus.trust==
To help users make more informed decisions about purchasing computer equipment online, Hexus.trust employs a 5 star rating system for retailers. Registered users can rate and discuss their experience with companies, the details of which are stored for anyone to view. For the community, Hexus.marketplace users may rate each other after buying/selling items through the forum.
==HEXUS.community==
HEXUS.community is a self-proclaimed family forum with slightly under 50,000 members and around 1.5 million posts. Whilst primarily intended to be a technology discussion forum, there are a wide range of sub-forums catering to different users needs - including cookery and photography. Users can also sell their unwanted equipment via a marketplace and there are a number of dedicated retail forums (see care@Hexus).
In addition to this, articles posted on the main webpage are posted in the relevant forum sections for ease of discussion.
==care@HEXUS==
care@HEXUS allows manufacturers to have support forum within the main HEXUS.community forum, this allows companies to be “more visible” to the consumers and serves as an active support line, which is moderated by the companies themselves.
Current users of the scheme:
* Universal Abit
* Corsair
* ATi
* Scan computers

It didn't fall off, it merely became insufficient at it's purpose and got a bit droopy...
The wayback machine might be a decent idea for looking at history, but yeah I think that'd be a decent start and then we can work from there.
Ok, I have come up with an idea, rather than spam this thread with update after update I will add stuff to the discussion area. I am thinking of adding the entire article to the discussion section, so it is saved else where and updating it there, then once it is at a stage, where we feel it is ready to be published, it can be published as an article.
What do people think? If people think its a good idea, I will see about finding out how people get access to the discussion area.

Anybody can edit anything on Wikipedia, more or less.
Even the discussions?

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
