https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/OpenGeofiction - the OpenGeofiction article has already been deleted once from Wikipedia

Please don’t reinstate such articles. It is still insignificant in the Wikipedia world.

I have restarted it anyway, I think i can provide sufficient coverage of the topic in the near future. I added some good references.

Actually, if your wikipedia account has a sandbox, you can establish a sandbox about OpenGeofiction, where everyone can contribute.

I thought of asking the admins about when OGF started, then how it has progressed.

I will not actually totally encouraged it as in wikipedia, it was said to be not notable. Maybe leave it in your sanbox and then improve on it, then with more data then it can be jive.

To be recognised ‘outside OGF’, mappers have to make an impact outside OGF. The decision was made on Wikipedia that OGF wasn’t a big enough thing to have its own page.Therefore setting up new pages is counter-productive and a waste of the wiki editors time. If you want a wiki page, it needs referenced; for that to happen you need to produce quality mapping that gets recognised more widely. No more comments here, please - get back to mapping!
