A few months ago, there was no entry at Wikipedia for Barry Schwartz but now there is and it is for the famous psychologist. I kinda want one also. Danny Sullivan, the technologist, has one - but it does need to be updated. Matt Cutts got one and Gary Price also has one.
I tried writing Wikipedia entries in the past but no luck.
So here is the deal. The person that gets me a listing at the Wikipedia, will get a free RustyBrick Bag with Search Engine Roundtable Yo Yos.
You can get most of my details at my linked in profile and in the about me page. For a picture of me, there are many here.
You just need to send me proof that you made the entry, I guess take screen captures of your contribution list and the page you submitted to Wikiepdia.
Well, I made a wiki entry for myself here.

lol - I tried to create one for myself and the community spoketh. Chris Hooley of web marketing fame is not notable enough, but Chris Hooley, the physicist is. Oh well. Maybe another big ugly stunt and I'll be noticeable enough for somebody to create one for me too :-)

Barry, this blogpost is a sure fire reason to nuke a page about you on sight for WP admins... Let me try though :)

OK, starting it yourself was a BIG mistake :P however, let's see what we can do, your article is up for deletion, let's see if i can get some friendly admins to swing that to "keep" :)

Wow Joost de Valk, me love you long time if you make one for me too! Ok well I'm nobody so far, but maybe I can get one posted about my studnet loan company? We are a multi-billion dollar company, one of the largest, but for some reason we don't get in either. I dunno.
Either way, congrats on getting in so far Barry.

Well Chris, it's all about notability... Did you try to create those pages about your company yourself? And was that with an account which had done nothing before that or was obviously linked to the company?
