I was thinking today that we need to get the wikipedia page about FIRST to some seriously high quality standards. It's pretty good already, but if we can make it a featured page and, Dean willing, get it as the page of the day, that would do a lot towards spreading the word of FIRST.
I understand there is FirstWiki, but FirstWiki is preaching to the converted and addicted. If you get the millions of visitors to wikipedia reading the FIRST page (especially if they are teachers or students), you could greatly increase the exposure of FIRST in the wider community. Needed: -Plenty of wiki links -Perhaps move the Vex and Lego sections to their own pages and improve those pages as well -Good Sources for each statement (i.e. the FIRST homepage or news articles. Linking to other wikis like Firstwiki is better than nothing, but since it is a wiki, it's not a rock-hard source) -Good, large, clear photos. I added one, but you can see that it is blurry at large size. Pictures taken with really good cameras by great photographers would be good. -Longer descriptions --Ideas for new areas: ---Awards ---FIRST in the community (what chairman's awards do) ---History ---Monetary aspects (what it costs, where money comes from) -Good descriptions of ALL the linked games from yesteryears, maybe even pictures of them in progress at each of the linked pages (I'll work on this) --For all the old games, a description of the game, who won the championship, a description of an average match, possible strategies, and maybe a discussion of the winning strategy would be good. I'm working on Maize Craze at the moment, but since I was 6 when that particular game happened, I don't know any of those things. Here's the wikipedia criteria for featured articles: Quote:
