Google Community Wikipedia Article

Randy · 11-21-2004, 03:50 PM

I've created a Google Community Wikipedia Article. I encourage all familiar with Wikipedia to edit it and make it more professional, and all those unfamiliar with Wikipedia to learn about Wikipedia, then edit it. I just added basic information, but I'd like it to eventually look like the Ebay article or Slashodot article. Thanks everybody and happy wikifying!

Randy, thanks for starting the article about the forum, but I'd just want to give a bit of caution about this. Someone could easily take the whole article as "non-notable" and list it on Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion.

I'll try to add to the article but we've gotta be careful...

cool!!! im in the picture!

I see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_community is no more.

What a shame.

However if you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google and scroll down to the bottom you will se it say Google Community (Unofficial Google Forum) (http://www.googlecommunity.com/)

So I guess we are still in wikipedia as a link in a funny kind of way.

Oh well, maybe when we build up a bit more a history

darrenstraight · 12-18-2004, 03:28 PM

Maybe, as google community is still very young.

Ok Google community at wikipedia is backup but it may not be like that for long, we seriously need people working on it if we don't want it to be considered for deletion, in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Please see what you can do:

Votes for deletion
Article appears to be merely self-promotion; subject does not warrant a Wikipedia article ~ Booyabazooka 02:39, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Well he's right.. quick sombody..make a big article.

Somebody put it back up - but it was even worse than the first one. I will try and get a nice write-up so that it looks presentable.

The database is currently locked, yes I did notice it was worst than the original one, luckily I also noticed it was back up.

Edit:

Added some facts about GC.
