In reply to: Nick (UK) 's message, "Had anyone noticed we have a professional write-up on Wikipedia?" on 10:42:38 11/11/04 Thu

I think someone from this forum made the wiki page not long ago. Anyone can create a wiki page once they are registered.

A few more of us should sign up and link anything else relevant to the wikiFCS page and try to increase the volume of information there.

The idea of a letter to send is good.

I tried to do a similar thing but for businessmen and media etc. with emails but apart from a few contributions there was no large influx of contact details.

Someone will have to keep an eye on the page to make sure that it isn't turned against us. Anyone can edit it.

Actually, anyone can create or edit a non-protected Wiki page, irrevelevant of if they are registered or not. Vandalism is quite rare though, sicne reversing changes can be done with a click or two and all IP addresses of non-signed-in users are logged and on display to the general public.

(As I said previously in the dicussion tree, I created the article though am not responsible for the recent edits.)

I've added the page to my watch list and will monitor it.

To the person responsible: This is a serious project, as is Wikipedia; you are not anonymous (here are some other recent edits from our unnamed assailant, who is using the IP address 146.176.49.119 - notice the edits of Cornwall). Wikipedia has a neutrality policy which you will respect; you are more than welcome to add helpful comments to the article, otherwise, please do not continue editing it. Thank you.

i think it could be that young irelander guy. There was a comment about the FCS not accepting that Ulster was part of the country of Ireland.

Sorry, I didn't realise how Wikipedia worked. Good work Roberdin. And thanks to everyone who's getting us noticed on the web.

Understandably, it is, after all, an unusual concept. Please add more information as you like. :)

If we can get the article to a sufficiently high standard, then I will submit it as consideration for their Article of the Day.
