Wikipedia approval - -Dartz - May 15, 2010
I have some ideas.
Idea #1
Sources:
1. http://www.darknet.org.uk/2009/07/hospital-hacker-ghostexodus-owns-himself-arrested/

Someone from HF got arrested. Not an award, but noteworthy.
[deleted]
Idea #3
Sources: -Will be up later. I just watched a news report on WPIX 11 about hacking, it was basically a botnet / RAT, easily obtainable on HF.
A news report on hacking, and the tools are easily obtainable on HF. The user could have EASILY gotten the tools from here.
Idea #4
This is a last resort, I guess. According to them, sites must have an award to have a wiki, yes? Then we attack their statement. We wiki a ton of useless sites, and point them all out, and show that they have no awards at all.
Idea #5
Sources: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=36808
MBAM and HF almost had a lawsuit because of a false positive.
Post your opinion. If you have any other ideas, if they're decent, I'll add them. Post away!

I suggest not posting too many more ideas.. Omni already seems pissed as it is, which he has a right to be. We need something more solid to work with.

4chan has no awards, no?

I say either get a professional to write it or just shut it down.
Whoever wrote the current page botched it and gave it a bad name.

LMAO Nice idea #4. That could definitely work.

Yup. Lots of typos and bad statements making it read as an advertisement. The page is going to get deleted unless it's seriously redone from scratch.

It just needs to follow these guidelines.

4chan is the 2nd largest board in existence. There isn't a reason why it shouldn't have a wikipedia page.

there is an article thats noteworthy, hf was recognized ina computer magazine as being topnotch, with a little time I can find out what mag, and which edition for you guys, is that good enough?

I could help edit/update it.

* - -Dartz - May 15, 2010
Good luck finding it. I hope we get this Wikipedia, and I hope to help write it.

I suggest contacting a few experienced wikipedia users and asking them if they'd like to make you a wikipedia page. You can view which users made/edited articles, like this..
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2channel&action=history
You might have better luck, even though I know you probably want somebody who actually experienced some of the events, it doesn't look like you're finding anyone on HF who's good enough. :/
