Are we allowed to use this page as a directory? Like links to websites which support GRC (shops, stats services, links to our team's BOINC stats, important steemit threads, exchanges, etc)?

Would be cool to add a wee section about the hangouts too.

I'm a long-time editor there:

No, better to appear there with few links or even only 1 to your site which has all that info (but links as reference to support what one writes in the WP article are good). Having "fights"/discussions about such things on the talk page there does not look professional.

Wikipedia is in the top5 popular websites worldwide, so having a good profile there is very valuable

added currency infobox, release version and date, fixed some dates, removed some unused values from software infobox, added the logo. :)

looking much better now!

Peppernrino commented 7 years ago

also updated https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridcoin :D

fkinglag commented 7 years ago

Added plenty of new things and more to come. I think we could try to avoid adding too many things that make it look like a directory. I know that having too many external links can be distracting and also not look too good upon the article as a whole. We should try to have an aim to avoid cluttering up the wikipedia page, too.

yes sorry. i didn't have the artist's name. i think barton dug it up for me... it's somewhere in the logs. apologies. their copyright system is very confusing, and it said i had like a week to change it, and then that dude deleted it by the end of the afternoon. :( i'll get it done again asap.

Peppernrino commented 7 years ago

fixed.

Does it look good now or should it be extended even more ?
