- I would love for Codidact to have an entry on Wikipedia and, particularly, for it to be linked in [this list of Q&A platforms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Q%26A_sites).
- Wikipedia has [notability requirements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability) that must be met before they'll host a page. Basically, we need media or other prominent discussions of Codidact *that didn't come from us*. Our own web site, and blog posts written by our team members, do not qualify.
- If we could get some coverage in tech media, that would help us qualify for Wikipedia. If anybody has any contacts that could lead to an independent article about us, I'd love to hear about it. What we can't do is write an article for them to publish; while I assume a journalist could interview us as part of an article, we can't be the driving force or create the content ourselves.
- We need to catch the interest of someone(s) who can and would like to write about us and is reputable in Wikipedia's eyes.

- Possibly helpful resources: team members have written bits and pieces about our history in various places:
- - [Mithical: Codidact: the Community-Oriented Platform](https://superplane39.medium.com/codidact-the-community-oriented-q-a-platform-d2684d82d837)
- - [Art: Building Codidact: Not Just Tech](https://words.artofcode.co.uk/building-codidact/)
- - [Monica: Building Codidact Communities](https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/building-codidact-communities-1b9e0895373e)
- - [Mithical: An Interview with Monica](https://superplane39.medium.com/an-interview-with-monica-cellio-about-codidact-b40cb981a1e6)
- None of these help for Wikipedia because they're internal, but the information in them could help in talking with other media.
