David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Any #Wikipedia editors around who can help? We are trying to get the article on #CHERI added. It's so far been rejected three times:
First, it did not have enough independent citations. We added a lot to news articles about CHERI.
Second, it was insufficiently detailed and lacking context. We added a timeline of development, a load of cross references, and a simple introduction.
It was then rejected again because it lacks an explanation that a 15-year-old could understand. This is true of 90% of science-related articles on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure how we fix it. An explanation at that level is something I can write (I have done for the #CHERIoT book!) but it would then make the page 3-4 times as long and not suitable for an encyclopaedia (I've previously seen pages rejected because Wikipedia is not the right place for tutorials).
I don't understand the standards for Wikipedia and I really need some guidance for how to resolve and progress this.
