Website Down - Should be the past?
[edit source]On the main website, it either looks like it was infiltrated (unlikely) or it is showcasing the expressions of the website's key person/developer. Shouldn't the article be in "past" tense? Also, if someone has information about its closedown, if it really is closed down, then shouldn't someone have the information? If not, then it should be considered a silent closedown. I'm not sure about it, so I don't want to put down any false information to this article. --AOL Alex (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

[edit source] | The user below has a request that an edit be made to Web 2.0 Suicide Machine. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Add the creators using the article's existing TIME source The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 617 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
I have a conflict of interest here because I am Walter Langelaar, one of the people named in this request, so I am requesting the change rather than editing the article directly.
Could an uninvolved editor please add the following sentence after the first sentence of the lead:
"The project was created by Walter Langelaar, Gordan Savičić and Danja Vasiliev, who also operated the Rotterdam media lab moddr_ and were members of WORM."
Reason: the article currently refers to "its creators" in the Controversy section but never identifies them. The article's existing TIME source (currently reference 4) identifies Langelaar, Gordan Savicic and Danja/Danya Vasiliev as the founders of the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine and states that the trio also operated Moddr and were members of WORM.

I am happy for an uninvolved editor to adjust spelling or wording to fit Wikipedia style while retaining the sourced attribution.
