Wikipedia SMF entry

I was bored today and seen the wikipedia entry for smf - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Machines_Forum and it was next to empty and wasnt very useful.

I filled in some information but obviously id like someone to go over it and edit it to be more correct or more proffesional.

Just thought id make a note of it, its been there for ages as is, dunno who created it though.

Hmm, some of that article was not entirely correct...

Nice article. Only thing about it is that is that it seems pretty biased towards SMF. Not that SMF isn't a great forum, it's just that this is an encyclopedia article that should be objective. Let me refine it.

I think it looks great the way it is now.

As articles go, I'd say it's pretty neutral. Look at the phpBB, IPB, vBulletin, YaBB, PunBB, and generally all of the forums on there. They all sound somewhat biassed.

In fact, I tried to make it less biassed while correcting it factually. If you feel it still doesn't have a NPOV, obviously I'm the wrong person to fix it - so feel free.

No, I think you did an awesome job with it. And somebody made it sound really great before I could get to it anyway.

It's great how it is now. Very descriptive.

Its funny, before I only really liked Wikipedia for its information it gave me, now I think I truly understand what they mean and are built for.

Hi all,
newbie to this forum, although have been using helios forum which uses u'r software. Read the entry in wikipedia would 've liked if somebody from the forum would 've also posted a link to a blog where things such as blogs, feature set of the next release & so on & so forth were known.
