bbPress still deleted from Wikipedia

5/26 update: a noble group of folks have taken up the effort to restore and rebuild the page on wikipedia – I’ll leave this post for posterity…

bbPress is approaching 10,000 active installs and millions of users by my (heavily researched) estimation and yet it’s still deleted from Wikipedia. However BuddyPress which definitely has less than a thousand active installs, features it’s own page. Go figure.

Wikipedia has pages on ultra obscure fonts that aren’t even in use anymore from ancient Windows 3.1 applications, but a dedicated bbPress page is excessive to the editors?

wolfram alpha is not just hype, it’s amazing

keep watching, even 5-10 minutes in, it just keeps getting more and more impressive…

(among other things it can casually compute fluid dynamics, tell you where things are in space, mix colors, weather for any location at any time in history, whoa it’s staggering)
