Help with Hive getting added to Wikipedia
After seeing a Tweet from acidyo that showed that some brand using our logo I just went off and thought it was absolutely bonkers.
Hey Hivers!
After seeing a Tweet from @acidyo that showed that some brand using our logo I just went off and thought it was absolutely bonkers. On top of that, this brand is also using the exact name. Hive. I'm not going to share this Tweet here, to prevent more traffic from going to their website (as @crimsonclad mentioned), but this is just unbelievable and unacceptable.
Either way, I feel that there is still a lot to do for Hive and we must embrace Web 2, and start registering our Hive name, even if we don't use the accounts, this example shows how important it is to at least lock these names in.
### Wikipedia
As I was browsing Wikipedia, I noticed Hive isn't there yet.
So, here's where I just went on autopilot and started writing a page for Wikipedia. Usually, I wouldn't do this, because my morale would first want to ask someone for permission. But who do we need to ask for permission if we are writing facts? Besides, we are the chain! And once a Wikipedia page is added, it can be edited by anyone.
I also know how hard it is to get Hive on there. But, with our heads together, and some OG's that took part in starting the chain on March 20, 2020. I'm sure we can fact-check our way to Wikipedia. So, please reach out to me, as I will be busy formatting the page, or feel free to make adjustments (and keep an eye on the page) once the page is live, and accepted.
### LET'S GET HIVE ON WIKIPEDIA Currently working on a "declined" draft for Hive, which gives me/us about 6 months to submit a new version of it. 1. Facts 2. No biased tone of voice (the greatest, best, unique, etc.)
If I were to think for myself, I'd like to add the following. But if you have better suggestions to add. Do share. Take a look at Bitcoins Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin <-- this is what we need. Dump any articles you can find about Hive here, and if you have time, do a short non-biased summary.
1. History of Hive 2. Hostile Takeover 3. dApps 4. A list of all the hard forks 5. Developer tools 6. Decentralized
### Formatting The formatting looks familiar to MarkDown, so it would be 
### Visual 
### Declined This is way too little information to get accepted on Wikipedia, I wasn't expecting to be reviewed this fast, but it's nice to receive some feedback this fast so I know what to look out for.  I've started to write a bit more and thought it would be nice to start from the beginning. If someone knows exactly which block number Hive was loose from Steem, that would be amazing. Couldn't find anything in block #41801981 https://hiveblocks.com/b/41801981, but it's good to see my friend @louis88 there. Any information you provide is more than welcome! If you're a (dApp) developer, and you want your full name on here, please let me know as well.
### This comment section Please, I encourage you to provide factual non-biased information about the Hive blockchain, and if possible, provide an outside source (URL), so I can implement your bit in the wiki page. Use the comment section for this. Also, please check if someone has submitted what you're about to submit (or has already been added by me). My vote isn't worth much, but I'll try to see if I can curate any work you've shared with me.
### Wiki guru? Hit me up on Discord! Let's make this page real and help me out. All the help is welcome. I've added the Hive logo (@roelandp, it's CC0 licensed right?) ```https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Icon_of_Hive.svg```, please let me know if this reference is fine or needs to be adjusted. If you're curious about the draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Hive_(blockchain). ALL HELP IS WELCOME! Cheers, Ruben ps; I'll be updating this page as I update the Wikipedia page.
