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".
