Well, as Andy and I were discussing on our talk pages, it can be a strange honor. I got mentioned mainly because of the BBC article related to the SMS disaster system I was involved with after the tsunami... I was apparently fast tracked for deletion, but whoever started the article substantiated it with the BBC article. I found it by googling myself, trying to find something I wrote some years ago (and that's become increasingly difficult).On 3/27/06, Andy Carvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi everyone, Taran Rampersad recently posted a message to his blog, www.knowprose.com, about the fact that he's recently been added to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taran_RampersadDear Andy, Very cool! And I love that photo of Taran. How does one get to be immortalized with a Wikipedia entry? There wasone of me for a day or two, but then it was fastracked for deletion. :-( Otherwise, I would have wanted to be in the "digital divideactivists" category. Warm regards from Deborah
I really do feel strange about the whole thing. It comes with caveats. To be a respectable page, Andy and I both agree that we shouldn't really edit our own pages... mainly because it's in poor taste, I think. It's weird having other people describe you in the third person as if you weren't in the 'room'.
I keep wanting to scream, "but I'm not dead yet!"... :-)Still, I suggest things on entries. I'm still trying to figure out what the salary requirements for a technology activist are... but I have figured out that there is little room for advancement. :-)
