sometimes @wikipedia feels like a mafia, some #DeltaChat users tried to create a Delta Chat entry in Wikipedia (EN) several times over the years and they always rejected it, claiming it is not relevant enough and needing more sources,

when sources were provided someone would comment that "likely that are paid articles" and shit like that

even when Delta Chat page exist for other languages already

then there are things like Beeper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeper_(software) with a SINGLE citation to a paid-walled article

what gives???

please if some of you have experience contributing to Wikipedia (and I guess some secret connections or being known contributor is needed as well) consider creating a Delta Chat entry

There are many more links. While I personally agree that there could be more articles, there are already quite some already that mention the project.
