Get Drupal in your local Wikipedia right by 9/8/7

By bertboerland on

drupal in wikipedia 9/8/7 programWikipedia has become a major source of information for many people. Therefor it makes sense to have Drupal listed on all languages that Wikipedia offers. Right now Drupal is listed in 22 languages which is good but we can expand this to even more languages and we can make the current information better. For example, the English entry of Drupal is rather good but still needs some work, see for example the "citation needed".

Some other languages sometimes only have a oneliner or are old and outdated, listing old versions of Drupal. So here is a call to everyone that has a browser and can write in one or more languages: go to Wikipedia, search for your language(s) and start an entry about "Drupal" or make the current one better. Note that it does not have to be limited to the term "Drupal" itself, you can write as well about for example the Drupal Association citing the FAQ.
