Matt Posted June 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 did you have to aquire permission from them, as it is ment to be an online encyclopedia, and not a place to spam forums, not that this is what you are doing...i was just wondering...No, I did not ask permission, I simply added the article. As it is a free open source encyclopedia, I was able to create the article. The reason I did so is because I came across an article on The Tech Support Forum (www.techsupportforum.com) and figured, if they are allowed to have an article, why shouldn't Besttechie? Anyhow, if they don't like it, they will just remove it.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brett5150 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Looks very profesional Matt! I just read a great article on "wikis" in PC Magazine: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1843469,00.asp Your amazing efforts just reminded me of it, so I thought I would share for those who don't know what "wikis" is.

Matt Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm a little lost on how to vote...  <{POST_SNAPBACK}>hey,go to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vot...tion/Besttechieand at the top, there will be a button that says 'edit this page' click on that, and a text box should come up on a new page. on there, after all the current text, type something like *Vote - brett5150: '''Keep'''Thanks!Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett5150 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ok, I thought I did that before, but some error came up last time. It worked the 2nd time I tried..... Brett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ok, I followed the directions but I think I goofed it up....do you have to be a member to wikipedia to vote? Do I click "save" after voting or something else?? I typed vote-blim-keepIs that right or did I need the star and punctuation marks?I know, durned noob.... Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 hi blim, it would be better to have thos punctuation marks, as to keep the vote style right.. no you do not need to be a member. and yes you need to click save. try again and see if it works.Thanks!Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 BAH!!! I tried it 6 times and my vote didn't show up (at least I think it didn't). If anyone wants to put in a "keep" vote for blim, go right ahead, you have my permission!Ooops, try number 7 worked!!! Of course, I was doing it wrong....duh...Thanks,Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murtu52 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Nice! I want to help to . I edited a small bit, and lessened the spotlight on BT and spread it out to ASAP. Hope you don't mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
