NY.pm now in Wikipedia

The New York Perl Mongers now have an entry in Wikipedia.

Several people have already fixed up my original Perl Mongers entry in Wikipedia (my kung fu isn't that good yet). I didn't realize that external links shouldn't be in the main text (although it probably says that in the docs somewhere), so the external link to NY.pm turned into an internal one that pointed to the "Create this page" page.

I have now created that page. It's just a start, and the rest of the NY.pm-ers can fill in the details.

I also didn't realize that I was using another Wikipedia account when I was doing all of this (like I said, I'm new), so I created my own account, which, sadly, Wikipedia munged to "Brian.d.foy". Oh well. It's a wiki, and I've always hated the way wikis try to format things. sucks to be me, I guess. :)


Yep, same as the poor pH article ;-)

See the disclaimer at the top of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH . Maybe you can add one to your user page, using the same template:

{{lowercase|title=brian.d.foy}}

I know, that technical limitation sucks. ;-)
