</div>Just to add my 2 cents, last time I read a bit about wikipedia's<br>
policies, I found a counterintuitive one : when writing about a person<br>
(and probably about an organization too) it is considered inappropriate<br>
that the subject edits its own wikipedia page. It may seem strange as<br>
the subject has probably more information about itself than anyone else,<br>
but think about it : do you want a politician or a company write about<br>
itself in wikipedia ? The subject is welcomed to give a lot of<br>
informations and sources in the talk: pages but it is independent people<br>
who have to decide which is relevant. That may be the reason why they<br>
consider a hackerspace member should not write about another hackerspace.<br>
