[Air-L] There's an article on me in Wikipedia!

[Alex -Vipowernet]

I was not allowed to make a page in Wiki. 
While many of my computer geeky friends have pages, and I assumed that the work I did in the 80's with the pre-Internet was historic... some wiki police stopped my work saying it looked like a "resume" 
Odd because I had written a historic piece about my work creating the first e-commerce business and there was no "resume" contents. 

Very strange who the self appointed wiki police are. and what their various criteria are for allowing or not allowing content. I lost interest though I stood firm on my entry for the Boston Computer Exchange - which is up presently.
