[IGSTK-Developers] IGSTK on Wikipedia

[Luis Ibanez]

Just to illustrate the power of the Wikipedians...


1) Patrick added the "Igstk" page on June 1st at 18:32pm.


2) *29 minutes* later the article was tagged by the
    "New Page Patrol"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol

    One of the patrol members: username "Accurizer"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Accurizer

    a user who in two and a half years has made more
    than 15,000 contributions to the Wikipedia, and
    has made more than 10,000 edits,

    tagged the page indicating that it was missing references
    to independent sources.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Igstk&diff=216453983&oldid=216448649


3) Three days later, June 4th at 4am, the page was reviewed
    again, this time by "The Evil Spartan":
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:The_Evil_Spartan

    who took time away from his most focused recent task:
    (reviewing the page of the 2008 presidential campain)

    This reviewer tagged the article as (confusing}
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Igstk&diff=216997946&oldid=216453983


This is how the Wikipedia has coordinated 50 million people
to write voluntary contributions to the largest collection
of knowledge in history.

"Accurizer"'s Philosopy:

    "Wikipedians don't die,
     they just stop making new contributions."
