  • Answer:

    No, Wikipedia isn't an advertisment, nor can you create articles about sites you own or run, because that would be a conflict of interest, if you site is popular - then people will write about it on their own, as it will become notable.

Sorry buddy, Wikipedia "moderators" will most probably delete it on the grounds that you are not a notable person. I'm not a notable person and one of my employees decided to do a Wikipedia article on me. It stayed up three days before Wikipedia deleted it. No complaints about that - I'm just an ordinary guy and I wouldn't expect the article to survive

Well just go for it. If you can, congratulations. If you can't, the only thing they'd do is warn you about it telling you to remove it. no harm done.

Your site is a message board with 228 posts thus far. There is no way it would pass Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. However, that hasn't seemed to stop ridiculous pages like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Mahon Wikipedia has become something of a joke, so if you want to fool around and try to get a page about your site on there, have fun. But you'd be better off listing your site in alternative outlets that Wikipedia recommends: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Alternative_outlets#Directory_of_alternatives

I think they will delete it. Wiki is getting stricter with people posting things on there. Websites or articles not about that person or thing will be deleted.
