crossbow discuss - Nov 2007 - Wikipedia article: OpenSolaris Network Virtualization and Resource Control

I''ve just posted the final of this article on Wikipedia.
Here''s the URL:

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

Nicolas Droux suggested I post the article directly to Wikipedia rather than
wait much longer for comments and additional materials. So here is the new web
page. In regular Wikipedia fashion, you can directly edit the page. Or you can
send me comments and additions, which I can add to the page.

I took a quick look.
I think, 
Title need to be Resource Control instead of Research control?

Latest update on the Wikipedia article title change.

This is a non-trivial fix. No kidding. There is no Media Wiki tag for the
headline at the beginning of the article source text. Instead, you create the
title through one of the Wikipedia templates. To change the title, you actually
have to move the page. Not a big deal, however...you have to wait four days
after you create the page before you can move it to fix a title.

Ugh. So sorry folks, if you want to read my article, it is still
"OpenSolaris Network Virtualization and Research Control" and
unfortunately must remain so until I come back from vacation. (When I leave for
vacation, only three days would have passed since posting the article.)

I just hope that "Research Control" was something I typed, not a
correction by a Wikipedia editor. That has happened to people, evidentally.

Stephanie,

I hope you don''t mind, but I took the liberty to rename the page. (I
changed "Open Solaris" to "OpenSolaris", in addition I
changed
"Research" to "Resource")

New Link.

P.S. - Please note the old link is now a redirect to the new link.

Hi Brian -

I don''t mind in the least. But I have a question for you.
Wikipedia''s
Help Desk says that to change the title of an article, you need to move 
it. And they further say, wait four days after article creation to move 
the article with its new (or fixed) name. So I was waiting.

Did you do anything other than moving the article to the correct name? 
If so, tell me so I know what to do if this happens again. If not, well, 
if you don''t tell Wikipedia that less than four days has elapsed, well
I
won''t either :).

FYI, I got the following messages from Wikipedia. I am sharing it
because I find it fascinating to see the process. It is surprisingly
efficient.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A tag has been placed on Open Solaris Network Virtualization and
Research Control, requesting that it be speedily deleted from
Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion,
because it is a redirect from an implausible typo. Also please note
that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide
references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to
expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while
for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template
{{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article''s talk
page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any
questions about this.
(Hi -- this is just a housekeeping process to remove the redirect that
was left when you renamed the article to its appropriate untypo''ed
name. I doubt that removing it will be considered
controversial...)--NapoliRoma 20:10, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

-Brian

P.S. - Don''t worry they aren''t deleting the article.
