Wiki Cred

I was thrilled to see a Wikipedia entry for Knovel this week. It has been up for the last several months. Several times over the last couple of years I posted entries for Knovel. The entries were quickly removed by the community of editors that saw them as not meeting Wikipedia’s content criteria which demand that entries are “factual, notable, verifiable with external sources, and neutrally presented, with external sources cited.” Frankly, my entries were blatantly commercial, did not meet the objective criteria and should have been pulled down. My designs on “Wiki Cred” and SEO (search engine optimization) benefits were dashed. There is a transfer of credibility in becoming listed on Wikipedia as the content criteria are strictly and continuously enforced by the community, so the entries that “stick” are almost universally notable and verified. While search engine algorithms are a “black box”, there is no question that they value Wikipedia entries; when searching Knovel on Google the entry now shows up on the first page of results.

So how did the entry appear? As it turns out, the initial posting was created by a small team of Knovel employees with ongoing contributions being made by interested people outside Knovel; the more contributors – via editorial improvements and reference links – the better. The Wikipedia model works! So if you have an interest in certain topics and factual data about them, I encourage you to add to Wikipedia and improve the resource for all users.

Kudos to Knovel!
I am very impressed and feel honored to know both Chris Forbes and Sasha Gurke, who now have a presence on Wikipedia along with all of Knovel.
I worked for Knovel in the Norwich office from 2000 to 2004 and occasionally check on their progress and now feel like I may have made a mistake leaving their employ.
Knovel has a clear presence on the web and their website continues to improve and grow. Great work and congratulations to my old friends.

We can even think of gifting it someone because these replica Rolex watches also provides a wide range of models to choose from like Daytona replica Rolex watch,Swiss Rolex replica watch etc. Particularly when compared to the high price of a genuine Rolex, a Replica fake replica rolex watches watch shows itself to be a true value.
