I can see how the links might be considered reliable under your definition of reliable sources, but Wikipedia has a different take. reliable sources at Wikipedia are sources that are essentially well-known and/or well-respected. A better discussion of reliable sources can be found at WP:RS, and includes examples of what is and what isn't considered a reliable source. Blogs or personal websites, for example, are rarely considered reliable sources. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 20:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, then please tell me which links or sections in the article that are not considered reliable under Wikipedia standards and I'll try to fix them. The only I can see that you may find unreliable is "The project has been in development since 2001 and the site came online in May 2003, but it was not until June 2005 that it was announced to a broader audience."

Check out WP:V, Wikipedia's verifiability policy. In a nutshell, the policy states:

| Information on Wikipedia must be reliable and verifiable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Any unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

The problem isn't the wording of the article, it's that none of the content is cited from a reliable source. If a reliable source says The project has been in development since 2001 and the site came online in May 2003, but it was not until June 2005 that it was announced to a broader audience.", then there's nothing wrong with including that in the article, it would just need to be cited. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 01:24, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
