No; it was this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_dms But WOW! The page you mentioned was created by none other than Samuel Jabob Klein<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Jacob_Klein>! This is a great validation of the Mayan software as Samuel is an elected member of the Wikipedia board of trustees and a Wikipedia steward (a super admin), so him creating the article for Mayan is a BIG THING! Wikipedia is a collective of a big number of individuals; some a bit misguided as the one mentioned here, but with many others like Samuel. So read his Wikipedia bio (here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sj>), I hope his actions has restored even a little bit of faith in the community of people working behind Wikipedia.
