Nice article!

Hey, nice article on WBS!

I was a bit too young to use it during its heyday, but both of my parents were exectives for the company. I remember a lot of corporate history details (such as the many name changes the company went through in its early years), and a few other things from hanging out at the office after school. Remember the breadcam?

I'll contribute to the article as soon as I have time. Thanks for starting it!

WBS Article

In the time since the WBS article was speedy deleted and recreated I figured out that the proper way to take care of it should have been to have an admin restore the article to preserve all of its previous edits; since I recreated the article after it was deleted all of the previous edits are not accessible to non-admin users and it looks like I created the article. If you get in touch with an admin he or she should be able to advise the best way to take care of it and restore the previous edits and fix the problem. This might be helpful. There haven't been many edits since the article was restored so it shouldn't be difficult to take care of.

What actually happened to the article at the time was that one editor added a lot of content about one of the recreated WBS sites, making it look like a "true" successor or recreated WBS. Another editor took exception to it and in the ensuing argument one editor made a legal threat and was banned; the banning administrator put the article up for deletion here. During the deletion debate another admin found a site that had copied the Wikipedia article and incorrectly though the article was taken from the other website, deleting the article as a copyvio. When I asked the admin that deleted the article about it that admin suggested that I simply recreate the article[1]. Narthring (talk • contribs) 22:16, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Contributing to Wikimedia tech

Hi, Tobias382. I noticed from your edits and user page that you're interested in programming. I thought you might want to know that the Wikimedia open source community welcomes you to get developer access so you can contribute code, critique others' commits, and generally get a better sense of how this place works on a technical level.

Also, the Wikimedia Foundation is hiring programmers, in case you know anyone who's looking. Remote work is often feasible.
