Fun Fact : There is no wikipedia page about Nostr.
I just tried to write one but WTF are references. So they rejected it. It all seems too new for wikipedia.
What I actually wanted to create was a wiki page where people could add relays, so people could go to it and find the right ones for them based on location, price, moderation policy, and rules.
nostr is simply a trade secret bro just like ur #pleb shit. and sats scam.
? but mate, you're ON nostr
Two thoughts : 1) #[2] recently added on nostr watch preview find paid relays feature https://next.nostr.watch/relays/find#paid
2) wikipedia has long been captured by shady, un-organic interests, and neckbeard admins. How might we build wiki over nostr and LN?
I see many cases that justifies a real decentralized wikipedia.
apparently, they review every new submission (there is strict rules when submitting) and there is queue..
"To qualify for a Wikipedia article, a subject must meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. Articles whose subjects fail to meet this requirement will be merged, redirected, or even deleted. "
They rejected mine because I didn't list a bunch of references from "proper" sites backing up my article. Which was basically just an intro to nostr and how it works. sod'em
f'ck them, it's easier to put a 'wiki' on my own domain, than waste time with them..
It was really for the Google ranking. Give the curious a plain overview that they could trust because, wikipedia. but hey ho
Would using the various GitHub repositories not work for references?
No idea. Seemed very formal and I was pissed off by then. I've never reacted well to academia...(years ago a Uni suggested my work should be written up as a PhD. Then they asked who would referree it. I suggested that was a them problem, but there wasn't anyone who as much about the subject as me. There were literally only 2 of us in the field, and we were competitors..end of chat:-)
