Go for it I say.
Every time I've tried to submit a new article to Wikipedia, they've come back with some BS reason (and I don't mean 'British Standard') as to why that won't be accepted.

So I've instead 'edited by stealth' a bit like this. They've done it to themselves by making their submission system unnecessarily complex and tied up in red tape.

Oddly enough, after they shafted me up the chuff re my attempt at an OXT page, this has gone unremarked on.

I am expecting some 'prawn' to zap it after the weekend.

And, frankly, I could not give 'a tinker's cuss' about "academic respectability", as, having worked in 5 Universities in 5 very different countries, I have a fairly low opinion of what really goes on in those places.

If people want to use my software: jolly good.

If they don't: not my problem.
