Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=antp,36977]Well Wikipedia is still more reliable than many other sites. I do not care much about the fact that IMCDb is listed or not there, but I find strange that it is deleted now since some time ago it was finally decided to be kept. If I knew there was a vote, I could have provided links to articles (including NY Times) Now they have lots of internal "dead links" since many cars & movies pages had a link to imcdb's page + wiki page about imcdb at the bottom, just after the IMDB link :D I wonder why such deletion is done after so few votes. It looks like three people decide it is not worth listing, and it is it. We have more arguing here for some background cars than what they have their for an article with some contents :D[/quote]

Gotcha

antp

I could, indeed... But as it is my site I prefer not doing the page myself, it looks too much like I'm promoting my site :wink:

Seems that the other language version was there before it was reinstated. Why not build a French language version, Antoine? :wink:

Unfortunately, I can't correct these myself :grin:

(I doubt it would be a good idea to use automatic translation)

nice

though that it says I founded it, but I didn't really, I just took over the project right after the foundation; I'll correct that

The italian and russian versions of the Wikipedia article still say that you, Антуан Поттен, are the creator of IMCDb. :wink:

antp

Seems fine now :smile:

Thanks

I was able to purge the MetaWiki cache page for the said site. How does it look?

antp

Ah ok logged users still see it; well that somewhat makes sense... I'll wait then :grin:

I saw your changes when I logged into the Wikipedia.

It takes a while to update the database for general view (non-user logged). Soon, it will be public by then :grin:

antp

I updated the page yesterday but the changes are only visible when I'm logged in :confused:

What's the trick? Is it waiting for some sort of validation by a Wikipedia admin because it is considered as my first contribution? (previous ones are not linked anymore to my account, after they made changes to have global accounts across all their sites)
