Talk:Boku (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding "speedy deletion" notification: Boku is an original research project which makes significant contributions to the field. It is comparable to existing Wikipedia entries Scratch and Logo (programming language).

This is not an advertisement nor a puff piece; I created this page as a response to the significant public interest in and online discussion about Boku. There is no financial intersest in promoting this software, as we are an independently funded research project and do not sell the software.

As I am not a regular wikipedia contributor, please let me know what sort of additional content would be necessary in order to make this a valid entry.

The best way is to find reliable secondary sources and use them as sources. In other words, find a newspaper article about the software, and you're in. If a research paper has been published in a journal, I'd say that's also notable. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia:Notability (software).

Wired's article is one example, though Self-published sources such as blogs are not as good as magazines with editorial oversight. — Ksero 19:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
