update wikipedia page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBO_Foundry

I am not sure how the resources were classified, but for example AFAIK we don't 
currently have any "candidate" (if we agree on defining "candidates" as those 
that have asked for review)

This is not a good page from a wikipedia POV. 

Too many external links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links

needs additional citations for verification
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_referencing/1
(also references are not correctly formatted)

There is a separate older page here that should be merged:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Biomedical_Ontologies

Also, just waaaay TMD. Who is interested in reading all this? This should be 
more of a stub / general interest article. No sense including redundant 
information that will only get stale.

I'm surprised a wikipedia editor hasn't just deleted this.

The OBI page is a better model
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_for_Biomedical_Investigations

(But still out of date. Last release March 2008?)

Although technically any of us can edit this, it is discouraged:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations#Am_I_allowed_to_edit_a
rticles_about_myself_or_my_organization.3F

I think it might actually be a better and more useful article if edited (or 
completely rebooted) by someone outside and more objective.

I disagree with Chris.  I think the scope of the article is spot on.  The 
content needs to be updated a bit with the new list of principles and the 
recent additions to the foundry, but all of the content that is there should be 
included on an OBO Foundry wikipedia page, probably more.

Whatever the length and scope we / other wikipedia editors decide is 
appropriate, always follow wikipedia guidelines and norms. Anyone editing the 
page should read some articles and sections such as these ones:

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#First-person_pronouns
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Relative_time_references

Keep in mind that, wikipedia isn't a platform for us to advertise ourselves, 
and we don't have sole rights to edit the article.
