Gregory's ServerAre you a wikipedia editor? Can you help us improve the article about the historically important OpenStreetMap editor Potlatch? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potlatch_(software) Before the wikipedia admins try to disappear it into obscurity again "This is not and will not be notable" 500,000+ users say otherwise.

@ianthetechie @edward @seav The article does need more "encyclopaedic" content. Why was potlatch notable? TBL demo should have a reference. etc.  @ianthetechie @Firefishy @edward I don't have any other advice other than there needs to be multiple independent reliable sources that talk about Potlatch. As an OSM mapper I definitely know that Potlatch is important, but as a Wikipedian for longer, I can't fault other Wikipedians for not giving Potlatch a separate article because there is a lack of sources.  @seav @ianthetechie @Firefishy @edward I wonder if we can find old (pre iD) beginner guides to OSM. They might have screenshots showing Potlatch (or mention it) |
@Firefishy maybe @edward or @seav have some ideas? I’ve personally been somewhat discouraged about Wikipedia for similar reasons. They seem to be flagging a lot of stuff as just not “notable” enough.
