As some of you may recall, I have previously written about discovering that much of the Interledger community is missing from Wikipedia. To begin to resolve this, as a part of the Hackathon at the 2023 Interledger Summit, we will be hosting a Wikipedia Editathon.
Leading up to the Summit, I will be sharing some guides to how people can participate in the Wikipedia Editathon, both at the Summit and from afar, including an introduction to editing Wikipedia pages and adding new pages to Wikipedia, as well as a best practices guide to doing so.
First though, in preparing, I could use everyones help in identifying what and who from our community is missing from Wikipedia and begin to compile information on them to add to Wikipedia. To do that, please:
add to this editable Google spreadsheet with technology, people, events, organizations and platforms from our community that you wish to see added to Wikipedia;
as you can't add yourself and your own projects directly to Wikipedia, please don't be shy about adding your names and projects on the spreadsheet, so someone else can add those for you;
fill in as many details on the spreadsheet as possible, as that will help those participating in the editathon on the day; and
if you see columns that should be added to this spreadsheet, please add them.
Thanks so much!

Maybe an article on Streamed Micropayments (including/aka Web Monetization)? wikipedia.org/Website_monetization is about making money from websites, but streamed-micropayments seems a relatively new (but big, needs a Wikipedia entry) idea. I also couldn't find anything a wiki entry for W3C Web Payments Working Group.
That's a great idea, Nic, and would both make great additions.
Happy to contribute !
Wonderful! Thanks Davo!
Hi Erica, I threw some words in to get the ball rolling. We don't have any good source publications or awards yet... guess I really need to get the word out stronger, harder, faster...!
You rock! Thanks Adam. StoryToGo has the readership to be considered a professional magazine and Wikipedia has accepted it as a source in the past, so your source publications are covered by the fact that I've written about you.
You are AMAZING! Thank you for that!
