I'm surprised a Wikipedia page hasn't been made for CodeCall yet. Shall we make one?

A website is too general to be in an encyclopaedia, however Wikipedia has a list of guidelines for an article notability:
Wikipedia:Notability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lot of websites do not have their own Wikipedia page, for example. Many that do have seen coverage by publications (slashdot-like sites even), are verifiable by secondary sources, etc.
That being said, we do have a lot of history - it would just be up to conforming to all of the guidelines.

Oh, I see. What exactly makes DaniWeb Wikipedia-worthy though? Do they have enough publicity?

That article should be rewritten, it contains a barrage of original content that is unverified/unverifiable
Where is an impact to prove this statement?
By releasing a single mod_rewrite hack? Where has it made an impact? What has it lead to?
I will in fact write some reminders on the page to add references. They do however reference two articles that were publicised.

I was on one forum, not sure if it was this one or not, and the moderator tried to force the forum onto Wikipedia. Wikipedia moderators just repeatedly killed it.

In my understanding, most sites try to get on Wikipedia for the PR/backlink juice in the past. I had a site that was referenced by Wikipedia and it drove a massive amount of traffic (and legitimacy).
However, as mentioned earlier, notability is a hard thing to claim, especially due to our small audience.

Why not just have a Wikipedia page that lists online forums and their descriptions?

Better than making endless pages, one for each forum.

Or eliminate the problem as they're doing now:
Don't put any forum on that doesn't meet the notability guidelines.

There is, and a link to here was already on it, and it got lost during large edits. It would not really matter anyway.

I wonder when the edit happened. I recall that Codecall's PR (pagerank) was hire sometime last year, but then it dropped, so was wondering if we lost a key link from somewhere.. Maybe it's the Wikipedia link that was lost...??
