ERPNEXT WIKI Page

[Aditya Duggal]

People, I have created a wiki page for ERPNEXT which I think is a must for such a good product.

Since I am not well versed with writing articles in WIKI therefore it is just a 2 liner and thus I would request you all to chip in with data and make the page a much better one.

Consider this as URGENT as I think if we don't do a lot of edits or make the page better with citations then it might get deleted.

The link is :

Hi,
This was our old wiki: You can take content from here. This is Rushabhs account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rushabhmehta1/ERPNext.

Thanks Aditya for trying to set this up.

But it seems that the wikipedia moderators don't like us. If anyone of you can help us set up this page (we cannot directly edit it ourself due to conflict of interest) in a way it meets their approval it would be great.

Considering some of the other Open Source ERPs listed on the page and the amount of respect I have for Wikipedia, I hate to but I feel there is a racial bias in not getting us listed.

Any help from you to ensure this page stays will only help us stay motivated in helping you out on various issues.

thanks,

Rushabh

Hello friends,

looks like this will sooner or later get approved, after having created a clone of earlier versio of ERPNEXT ..

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

if this is going to get deleted, will have some ground to followup as a third party with no other interest than core justifyable reason to be there on wikipedia..i.e the Information / presence and winning features of the same.

further to that, if it gets approved, may be , it will then appear @  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ERP_software_packages, cause I on the TALK page, I see that webnotes was not listed since it didn't have its own "page"

lets try for the best.


Regards,
Mahesh




Further to this, I feel once this page is approved by one of the patrolling authority, we can asl well

[Rushabh Mehta]

Mahesh, thanks for trying, but I don't think it will stay for more than a day. Good luck! I have given up on Wikipedia.

I have already received a notification.

I am doing my best to reason out as to why this page should not be deleted by the editor / moderator.

please throw more light on these "reasons"

[Mahesh]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --~~~~

Because Its one of most convinient, open source ERP programs.
ERPNext is an Open Source, web based application that helps small and medium sized business manage their accounting, inventory, sales, purchase, administration, project, customer support and website. ERPNext is built by the deveopers from scratch (it is not a fork of another popular ERP). Power to Small. Building next generation tools for small and medium sized businesses.

Following are the reasons, why it will not a violeting the norms of encyclopedic standards.
1)  To build a great and affordable ERP system that can be used by "small businesses worldwide".
2)  To make this software very easy to use, requiring no hand-holding or "implementation".
3)  To ensure that this software "Just Works".
4)  To listen to this customers and solve their "pain" points.

It is rather very painful to see that many other ERPs that are not half as complete as ERPNext are there on that list and somehow ERPNext is being not showcased in the wiki scenario.

want more reasons.. let us keep our fingers crossed now :)

Let us all collective keep reminding them with VALID reasons, and let them sure understand the community is not going to spare them, till they find it best suited to keep the page from deletion.

I request all forum users to register and help keep the movement continuous.

I posted today over there.

I think one of the community member outside country need to create this page, thats what I think is more NOTABLE n bringing in NOTABILITY crap that wikipedia brags about.

Please let me know how to make a contested deletion entry, should I make a new section or what when I am on the talk page. Please let me know the same.

[Mahesh]

I think the deletion contesting went through successful.
There isn't any more a dialogue box on wikipedia.

@rushabh may recheck and confirm the same.

Mahesh

Yeah, lets hope it stays :)

On a slightly different note - the ERPNext mega manual is under development. I cannot say for sure when it will be complete but I am hoping by the end of the month there should be a 300-400 page manual detailing all the features, steps, functional background, workflows, how-tos of ERPNext.

Rushabh

[Mitul Limbani]

Yippee !!!!

Mega Manual is DEFINITELY REQUIRED Rushabh.

PS I have already had a beer!!!

[Rushabh Mehta]

Its not yet been deleted. The page now is in all-caps ERPNEXT

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

Thanks again for helping everyone. It will really help if more people can write a short article on ERPNext so we can reference it and improve overall "notability".

thanks,

Rushabh

[Ryan vAN GINNEKEN]

Yes that is better very nice page indeed

[Mahesh]

what are citations anyway ?

Mahesh

[Umair Sayyed]

Hello Mahesh,

By citation needed its asking for reference of content on our page.

Example on erpnext wikipedia page is first sentence for which githubs reference is provided.

So we need article written on other pages who's reference can be used on erpnext wikipedia page.

[Mahesh]

just for my academic interest, please throw, how we can provide citation on this ...

Innovations

The core innovation has been in the metadata modeling which provides for flexible use of the application without custom programming.^{[citation needed]}

The user interface incorporates usability enhancements designed to improve ease of use and user productivity.

[Rushabh Mehta]

Hi Mahesh,

Since the wikipedia page is out there, lets keep the wikipedia discussions offline and stay focussed on ERPNext discussions :).
