Open Space Tech article on Wikipedia marked as spam, being readied for "speedy deletion"

[shanna leonard]

Though I am new to openspace, I have been a contributor to wikipedia on 
and off for a while.

Wikipedia organization is in someways similar to what I understand of 
Open space, IE, decisions are made by those who show up and do it. 
Though some hierarchy is established based on how frequently you 
contribute and demonstrate knowledge, decisions to delete and entitre 
page are largely made after discussion in the "talk" page section.  I 
don't see a discussion like this on the OST page, so I don't believe 
that the page will be deleted any time soon.

Editing of pages is ad-hoc, and is usually not organized in advance. IE, 
a wikipedia page is a continuing process.

 If anyone wants to make a correction or addition to the openspace page 
on wikipedia, Just Do It ;) (by clicking on the edit link, editing, and 
saving)  . Understand that your improvement may be later "improved" by 
someone else, and  if you disagree with the change, you can  change 
their change, and/ or discuss on the "talk" page. 

Since a history is attached to every page. (click on history tab of a 
page to see it), and all revisions are saved, previous versions can be 
retrieved.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully we won't get deleted in the next day or two. Larry Peterson and others referenced excellent third-party sources also Harrison, Michael Hermann.
