Now, how do we keep the well-intentioned clueless from alienating them? Particularly given the directions in the second-last para are very nice and really just the thing.
The press release seems to be confused on certain points. At first they discuss the creation of an article-space page (which seems to be up for deletion at the moment, but never mind that). They then instruct people to:
"First create or update your own Wiki page, with a short description of your mission or capability and a short description of where you fit into the OSINT world. Then a discreet link to your commercial home page. Once your Wiki page exists the title of that page becomes an automatic Wiki link whenever it is inserted on any Wiki page with two [[brackets]], and should be inserted with a short descriptive line at least once in each grouping above."
Are they talking about user pages and linking them in article-space? Or separate articles for each participant with links to their commercial pages?
They are talking about encouraging self-interested people to come in and spam us with nonsense, to be honest. The entire thing is a huge mess.
