Re: topic map & wikipedia: msg#00013

Subject: Re: topic map & wikipedia
Interesting experience at wikipedia: I noticed that there is a link to JackPark and to SamHunting, based on a reference to the book we edited for Addison-Wesley. I went to the JackPark link. Nothing there, so I added a paragraph. The instructions say explicitly not to use the topic to promote any person. Gosh. I wouldn't do that!

When I went back to view it later, there was a warning message saying the topic was scheduled for immediate deletion. I read the reasons for that and added another paragraph. I went back a while later. It was gone entirely. The instructions say that if you think it's not a candidate AND you are not the original author, you can remove the <<delete>> tag. By the time Sam got there, the article was gone.

So much for auto pilots.

This is an encyclopedia, so I think it is OK that the articles are
relatively brief. However, I agree that the article could do with a
bit more content. Maybe putting in a bit about usage areas and some
examples in XTM syntax would do the trick?
