http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Helmuti_pdorf Have a look on "my" talk page about the deletions

The reason is very clear:

The reason for deletion is there are not enough "real" people writing about wikidot!

The notability is not given - I have no idea of relevant Press notices or books.

Blog entries are NOT enough.

I will write here the 3 versions as a comment.

Could be someone have some references ?

If you try to write such article - first try it on a talk page or sandbox!

Please notice the forein wikipedia syntax!
AND: do not try to imnsert this text - it will be deleted because of the web links and the missing notability

==Software and features==
(Software is available free of charge to everyone at wikidot.org)
Wikidot uses its own [[software]] and wiki [[syntax]], both of which are under continuing development. It recently deleted the limit of members for "private" (closed shop) wikis.
Users can create free wikis, which can be ''public'' or ''private'' and only viewable by those who either know the wiki -site password or are definetly members. If owners of wiki-sites want to "monetizing" their site Wikidot uses Google's [[AdSense]] program to run ads)

'''Pros:'''

One of the advantages of the Wikidot is its support of password protected private wiki. ( now more than 40 % of the sites are private) and the easy to install and use of a site specific forum. The software is quite easy to use. Also, there is no restriction on the number of users, number of pages, or revisions.

'''Cons'''

A little drawback of theWikidot platform is its limited space offered for files ( images, pdf, doc, xls a.s.o -300 MB) for free. Not limited are all txt-pages and their revisions. But with the possiblity to embedd Videos, Images from other services this is not e a real problem.
Also, the Wikidot syntax is easy to use for beginners and non-technic starters, but if the beginners get more and more knowledge, they are often over roled by the lot of features and the sophisticated functionality.
The permissions are different to set for user-attributes, but in current release there is no possibility to "hide" a page or category.

==History==

The site was launched on 1. August 2006 under Rel 1.0 , an today (10. March 2008) there are more than 93.000 user with over a million pages of user-created content. Every day the wiki farm gets about 500 new users.

You remember when Mrs. Beasley came slithering around the wikidot PM system? Heh. I wonder if she's still associated with wikipedia. I wonder…

— Shawn

Wikidot page on Wikipedia was once deleted some time ago. Moreover after my changes in Wiki Comparison (after changes in Wikidot — like adding AdSense share revenue) they reverted it. That really sucks :/

Yeah, that says much about what's happening behind the scenes. Whether you can put your own ads on a wiki is a big issue to high-output content producers like myself. (just ask Michal).

— Shawn

And fear form the competition… ;)

Meybe you should ask them why their wiki farm Wikia HAS the article and Wikidot cannot?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikia

software and syntax in Wikia are exactly the same as in Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms

comparison of wikifarms… Where some of those have articles… Not only wikia…

Do note, that the your plan listed above; to publish your own book and use it as a reference in order to qualify a company profile wont work:

Wikipedia states that cited works must be independent of the subject:

Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc.

This was rushed but you may find it helpful: How to get into Wikipedia.
