Nairaland Is Now On Wikipedia by VoodooDoll(m): 10:30am On Aug 23, 2011
Hi Guys,

I understand Nairaland is now on wikipedia.  The entry appeared to be speedily deleted after some moderators believed Nairaland was not important and only relevant to Nigeria (which was dismissed as a "small country"wink.

It seemed to have taken Jimmy Wales (founder of wikipedia) stepping in before it was restored.

If you have skills on wikipedia or are a wikipedia administrator you can visit the page here to expand it with relevant articles etc:

There is no detailed information about the site. My observations are the outline needs to be well formed , the information should be detailed as possible, close to what the community really looks like and there has to be good history backings. I also think the very ideology behind the term Nairaland has to be well written out. And, many more important information.

For a site with more than 700,000 REGISTERED ACCOUNTS, THREE LINES is more than enough to describe it on WIKIPEDIA.
