Hello again! I just wanted to let you all know that I started an article about The Freesound Project on the english Wikipedia. I tried to give it a backbone that can be fleshed out easily through collaboration.

I would really appreciate if people with more familiarity with the details and history of the project (Bram especially) would fact-check the article and add whatever they see fit.

Thanks in advance, and keep on sampling!

Before I found freesound project, I was researching Foley Artists on wikipedia.

I'm not sure how to make links in wikipedia to point to Freesound...

Bram: Glad to hear you like it! Perhaps you can add some insider details about the history of the project or its technology base. grin

kelargo: You can link to the wikipedia article from other articles with this [[The Freesound Project]]

Bram, I'm glad to see the article I started made the front page, but it doesn't seem to have encouraged anyone to work on it...

The thing is, I don't know that there are many people who know about a lot of the site processes and technologies that would make this article more informative. It may fall to you and/or people that have worked as a freesound admin or high-level collaborator to expand this article, or to at least point to more information.

P.S. Please excuse the thread necromancy (this was my fourth post- woah weirdhocksmile, but I figured this was better than starting a new one.
