A Wikipedia post about Magento has been recently added. Check it out and update away!

]]> 2007-10-30T20:16:00-08:00 Comment by svemir {url_as_title} Someone tried resurrecting the article, but it is written in a non-objective manner, using unreferenced claims and personal opinions. Initially I thought it just needs a little reformatting, so I added an infobox and some sub-headings. However, when I actually read the article I realized it would need a lot more work to avoid being deleted again. There is enough buzz and material around to make this article at least as good as the article on osCommerce, but I am not able to do it within the next few days.

Wikipedia has a rule against original research, so you need to have other public articles to reference. Maybe also look for some similar articles that were not deleted and follow their model - once there is enough material to do that.

Struck down by the gods of wikiality.

Apparently Magento needs more truthiness.

Appears that the Wikipedia police are on it already.  It has been flagged for ‘speedy deletion’. I think you need to add a ‘hangon’ tag to buy some editing time.
