Rootschat At Wikipedia

[kizmiaz]

I've just created a new article on Wikipedia, which I think has what they want. If not, then I'm not sure what will.

It has links to news reports and external government sites so I hope it qualifies.

Please edit away to your hearts content and hopefully it will remain up this time

Excellent!

Maybe someone could add something about the founding of rootschat, voluntary ethos, the software speciifically developed for it, etc.

Yes, well done - I added the word free - after all that is what makes up special (among other things!)

I've added the list of contents from

Might be a good idea to add it here first, before going public with it.

What about all the research the guys did for this .............

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/4268066.stm

can we mention this too 

[Berlin-Bob]

At the most we could mention it, and give a link to the topic, but . . .
Did RootsChat get any official recognition in the media for that

If we didn't, then it's a "good job, well done", but it's not "in the public eye"

Hello

My name is Emma Robinson and I am the grand daughter of Flight Engineer J V Robinson.  My father, my sister and I are flying out to Holland in a couple of weeks for his funeral and I would just like to say thank you for all your hard work and efforts for making this possible.  I know we are all incredibly grateful for the opportunity to say thank you and goodbye properly, I am amazed and touched by all the hard work that has gone into it.

Best wishes and many many thanks again.

Emma

Hi Annie,

I've added the links to the "RootsChat in the Public Eye" page

I've just been through rewriting and wikifying the article, so it's more in the Wikipedia style. That should keep them happy about it this time I think.

It's important that anything people add should be written in a non-point of view style, otherwise they get cross and view it as an advert.
