    There used to be an entry on WikiPEDIA, but it got deleted because "Wikipedia is not a directory"

    If someone wants to take the time to find multiple non-affiliate sites that talk about us (such as that news piece that mentioned us a while back) then we'd probably be safe.

    And as far as "not allowing Wikipedia as source"... well, that's just silly. Really, Wikipedia (the good articles anyway) are nothing more than a collage of different sources. So, if you want to use something from there in a paper, just cite Wikipedia's source and your teacher/professor will never be the wiser

        Just as long as you make sure the source cited says the same thing. You do occasionally run accross Wikis that miss the point of an article it cites.

          My brother ran across a subject on wikipedia. He noticed that it had a few errors on it, so he fixed them. The next day, he went to it and his was edited back to what was first said. I never trust most things on that site. Now if I want to know something, I just go to a encyclopedia site.

            And do we even need to go into that story about companies editing out information that was posted because it made them look bad. And this wasn't along the lines of "*insert company name* sucks and is the worst thing ever!" kind of thing. Instead it was factual information that the company wanted to cover up. Heck, Jack Thompson's article had all his rantings and arguments cut out of there because he threatened a lawsuit. All of it was from actual events that he was involved in. ( I personally witnessed most of them) Took his page down to about 15% of what was there.

            Yeah, there's a great source of information.
