The Wiki-Man
So, recently, for about 12 or so hours, The FWRN was listed in Wikipedia. It was a very cool feeling, while it lasted.
It was kind of like sex. I say that because when I first saw the article, I was naked, sweaty and out of breath.
Unfortunately, the deities of Wikipedia deemed our entry unworthy. It was with a bit of depression and a blind rage that I read the information that our entry was deleted for violating...The RULES!!!
Now, Wikipedia has it's rules, and that's fine. It's their site, so they make the call. My issue is the nature of the rules our entry supposedly violated. It was considered "Spam" and lacking "Notability".
The entry was an informational page about the FWRN. Yes, it did have links to our web page. Of course, so does, say, The Fox News entry. I fail to see the difference, as neither was an advertisement.
As far as notability, I'll admit, they may have a point. After all, we're a new network, and we're an online presence. It's not like we've had any notable guests on our network, like a best-selling author or, say, a Presidential candidate, so I suppose they have a point.

Well I thought that Wikipedia would allow the entry b/c FWRN is a "thing". There was no advertising on it. It's just so friggin stoopid.
It's also a non-profit thing.
We do this for free.
So I would just like to say to Wiki, "Y'all are big stupid heads."
I'll probably be mentioning this on the show tonight. Damn the man.
