I wanted to respond but this was kind of off-topic for "Introductions" hence this post. I am a supporter of both this forum and Wikipedia so I feel myself qualified to discuss this subject. On Wikipedia there is a main article for VirtualBox which is referenced from the main Sun Microsystems as well as references from other articles: Full virtualization, Platform virtualization, x86 Virtualization, Comparison of platform virtual machines, Sun xVM, and 83 other article cross references (as per this google query). So in terms of is coverage and cross-references, I feel that Virtualbox is fairly treated in Wikipedia and the balance is about right.MadNav wrote:I'm in need of a little support for avoiding a wikipedia awaiting deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBoxHeadless.

One thing that I would say is that the Virtualbox article is somewhat dated and does not reflect current version 2.1.4 functionality. It could do with a refresh. I also tend to side with the Wikipedians in questioning the validity of the VBoxHeadless within the scope of Wikipedia. It is not encyclopaedic content. What this issue does introduce as a corollary is where do put such content. I have been advocating that we open up the VB wiki to general contribution or even simply starting (with the dev team's cooperation and support) a general community Wiki for the howtos, examples and general content that fits better in this paradigm then the forum based discussion model.
