Having contributed to Wikipedia pages, I can vouch that some of my information is still on the pages. However, when I tried to get PG Music's PTPA a little bit of notoriety by adding it to a list of DAW software providers, the information was rather quickly removed by an autocratic 'page master' or whatever he called himself.

His justification for doing so was that there were not enough outside references to PG's own webpages to qualify for Wikipedia's 'notoriety' criteria.

After that episode of online arguing, I gave up entering anything into Wikipedia, though I'm still a user.

My content that is still alive and well on Wikipedia are on two very unrelated pages:

I contributed content to the FAWM page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Album_Writing_Month

And on the explorer, Aimé Bonpland's page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aim%C3%A9_Bonpland

You might be able to see the on-line shouting match between me and the autocrat who ruled my content out of the Music Sequencer page. If you do a 'view history' on the page, you can see my name Rockstar not and then Scott.Wheeler right after mine, where he said that PTPA was not 'notable' and removed it from the list of music sequencer softwares after I had added it. Look around April 20 2007 and you'll see it.

Looks like Mr. Wheeler has given up being the ruler of all things music sequencer in Wikipedia based on the edit history of that page. Perhaps a more adventurous soul might want to put RealBand and PTPA onto the list.

As has been pointed out earlier in the thread, it's rather easy to do.

Whether Mr. Wheeler was or was not too autocratic is up for debate. In a way, he felt he was doing right by Wikipedia, I'm sure. I disagree, but partial fault lies in PG Music's lack of product placement/reviews in 'independent' sources.
