Let's rewrite this wikipedia article, Call for help! Options

[Kohlrabi]

I just surfed the web a bit regarding audio and video quality metrics and the like, when i stumbled over this wikipedia article. It is completely baffling. Not only that the overall quality of the writing is not very good and fit for an encyclopedia, it is filled with wrong claims and suggestive statements.

I say HA should try to improve this article, or better yet, do a complete rewrite! We can use our own HA wiki to draft our article, and push the final version to wikipedia after it is deemed finished. I think this is far better and easier than nitpicking and fixing all the statements in the wikipedia article proper. We cannot expect visitors here to be able to participate in the discussions and understand ToS#8 if articles like this are out there!

It seems we're not important or significant enough ;( ...or are we? I recall some HA members being involved, from time to time, in "old media" reports about audio quality - maybe some of those mentioned HA, maybe such links would be enough?

Also, many codec and general audio software authors seem to make HA their web hub of sorts - you presumably recognise its value and importance in the field. So, maybe, a mention of this hypothetical recognition, somewhere on the home sites of your projects, could be in order... could be enough, seeing that many of those codecs and software do have Wiki pages - if large portion of them would recognize HA, wouldn't that affirm its significance in the field?

Then some articles not only send to HA in #External_links, this one also quotes Sebastian's and Roberto's archived Public Listening Tests ...which were, after all, sort of done "here", sort of under HA umbrella.

(and I did wonder recently what the "fb2k might not meet notability" was about...)
