lol, as Jimbo often repeats "wikipedia is not an experiment in socialism".
if I had $15 bucks spare i'd buy it. Wikipedia dominates google search and
even a rejected spam site will still appear on google search because its
appeared on this list, AN/I, Ea/R or requests for articles. We might have
robot.txt and "no follow", but especially this list shouldn't be mirrored
throughout the web. Wikipedia is open and the list archives are open within
enwp. mirroring the list just defeats the whole lists goal, to make
Wikipedia better. OK, the list isn't a chat room, but we all spiel things
here that we wouldn't do on a talk page or AN/I.

In short,
MediaBistro.com, a media news site, offers a $15 video
"course"
on
how to use Wikipedia to raise your media profile. The preview video
raises
the specter of the Seigenthaler controversy, and
offers to "explains
what
Wikipedia is, how it works, and how people and
businesses can increase
and
influence an identity on it".
