I figured it was about time LMR had an entry in Wikipedia - after all we are not just a little insignificant group any longer :) It may just be me, but where ever I go and talk to people who are somewhat into robots, they know about us. Or they are us.
And so - as I see it, we should be in Wikipedia, and so I made this draft:
I never started an article for Wikipedia before, and it's hard to have a website in there, unless it's posted because of "some real content of general interest", and not just the fact that we have a website running.
However, I do beleive that we have more than a website running - and if you agree, and if you'd also like to see us "out there", please help me by editing it, and in the true spirit;
If you feel that our article is ready to be reviewed, please do submit it, and off we go :)
Nicely worded Frits. A picture or two might jazz it up a bit. Like the LMR logo and perhaps some pictures from makerfaire or such. Otherwise if that is your words you have a very sophisticated level of accomplishment in English, well done. I’d have a go at editing it for pictures myself but I’d hate to ruin your work.
Please DO edit - if not for the fact that it can only be better if more people are involved, then because it appears that one of their conditions for even considering an article is the fact that it’s a group (various IP numer tracking) effort.
I cannot lift this one alone, I do need your help. Thanks.
Overall very nicely worded, only changed a few things which I think might sound better my way… and if I am wrong, I’m sure someone is bound to correct me, after all I’m not a native English speaker myself.
I will see if I can help you with that article, maybe some content from our time @Campus Party? Group picture? Not sure about that but as long as it’s a draft we still can change everything.
With Frits’ permission, I added two files from the LMR Logo Kit to wikimedia.org. These files are now able to be used freely in the public domain, including the use on wikipedia.org.
Here’s what I added:
To use the file in a wiki, copy this text into a page: [[File:LMR LogoBot.png|thumb|Add caption here]]
Check the LMR Logo Kit. There are multiple versions, including one labeled ‘hollow’. I think that one has a transparent background.
In any case, please feel free to modify the images for your own use. If you come up with something new that you believe will be useful to others, ask Frits if he will include it in the kit. Just be aware that the kit is in the public domain, so if you add something to the kit, your submission will be public domain too.
