    Hexus wikipedia page

    Can't find it if there is one. All the other tech sites seem to be on there.

    If there isn't one would anyone be up for doing it?

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    but do we need one ?? Hexus is here and extremely active, surely if anyone searches for a specific item, Google is scanning Hexus well enough for it to show up ?



    Feel free to slap me down....

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    It's not about boosting search results though, or awareness... not in my eyes at least. If it was, then I'm sure Steve/David would've set about it already.

    Nothing wrong with documenting the history of the site and so on in an encylopaedic article.

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    No, the page was redacted.

    The question is why, is it because frankley its pointless to have a wikipedia page about hexus, bit-tech or overlockers (thou the latter could be funny), or is it because some wikipedia admin doesn't like hexus much.

    Or because the person that was going to start it, got busy with University work and as such, didn't have time to start this

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    If we've got a few people all willing to put some effort in, then I reckon we should start it off.

    Depends how many are interested, if it's just 1 or 2 then it won't get off the ground.

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    We can't be directly involved in making the page, but you guys can.

    However, if a wiki page is going to be created, you need to work out what category(ies) it falls into (compare it to other tech sites with entries on there I guess) and then see what the criteria for notoriety are for that category, and (assuming HEXUS meets them), ensure they're stated in an early version. That should avoid it being deleted as it will be plain to see that it's a valid entry.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: Hexus wikipedia page

    I'd be interested in getting this going, afterall, I did create a thread for it a while go (linked to above) we can still use the template from that thread, get a basic page going and then go from there.

    I haven't used Wikipedia in create entries before, has anyone else?
