Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Suggestion for a good contact
If a company or business comes to terms with the notability guidelines for sources, they are likely best placed to argue their case for an entry in Wikipedia - or expansion of an existing entry. They would be negligent were they not maintaining records of all press coverage. Part of the process of disclosing their interest/involvement should be revealing the IP addresses of their sales and marketing people - so they can be pre-emptively blocked. :P Brian. -Original Message- From: wikimediauk-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimediauk-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Dalton Sent: 15 February 2009 19:48 To: wikimediauk-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Suggestion for a good contact 2009/2/15 Casey Brown : > On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 1:43 PM, joseph seddon > wrote: >> Its a wikimedia address. >> > > No, I think he meant the conference subject itself seemed like using > Wikipedia for "spam" purposes.
