I just found this page where PS is on rank 154 with full 10 votes! Yay!   ::|

Does anyone have a clue if this voting system lets you click the vote over and over and counts it? Also planeshift seems to be moving up quite quickly. Yay! Gooooo Planeshift!  

It looks like its once per month per IP.

I made a page about PS on the dutch wikipedia. I just translated all the info on PS's about page.
The page was deleted within minutes wihtout discussion, the reason: it was an advertisment.
I immediately filled in an appeal. The page was pretty objective, why would it be an advertisment and for example the page about World of Warcraft not be and advertisement.  Huh

I guess that's the downside of wikipedia: one moderator in a bad mood and gone is your article.

To get accepted, articles often need a little polish before posting. The best way is to link to as many other articles as possible, for instance to Crystal Space, Atomic Blue, Open-Source in general, acticle "MMORPG" or a list of RPGs in the wikipedia (in your language). Also, don't forget to eventually set a category.

This is the PS article in the german WP, which definetaly needs an update, but at least it's there. You can take a look at this article and compare what is missing that qualifies it as article and not as ad.

Edit: Also ask this mod for constructive tips in creating that article. Point out that it isn't a commercial project and therefor it's a bit weird to use the word "advertising" in that context, especially as reason to quick-delete an article.

Edit2: The PS article in the german WP had also a difficult past. AFAIK it was also quick-deleted, then restored, then had a deletion-process because of "insignificance" just because of the beta/pre-alpha/whatever status of it. Now its in and will stay ;)

If you have a dynamic IP, you can try to vote each day, as usually every 24 hours your IP changes..
That's where dynamic IPs are useful.. not that I'm saying cheating is good..  :whistling:

Edit: Place 69  \\o// Goooo PS!

Weird.. I've never seen that little section on the mainpage before:

Quote
We are trying to enter in the top 1000 world users of Seti@Home, actually we are in the top 1000 of Italy. If you want to contribute, simply download the client program and use as login: pancallo@netscape.net, you will start with a big amount of already processed units!

Guess that doesn't need more words   8)

Edit: Just found out that Talad is still on a classic account and that a "planeshift" team with 2 members is existing, but that it is UO guild or something like that >:-/

Maybe I'm just blind and haven't seen a button, but it seems that his acc needs to be reactivated.. will post again when there are news and/or corrections >.>

By the way: Wikipedia would surely need an update in the different languages Smiley

I did my daily vote and I notice we went from 63 back down to 93. So I am bumping this thread to remind people it is still here. Come and vote everyone and lets get planeshift on the first page at least. Gooooo PS!  :love:
