Update:
1/9/2017 - The People's Cube entry has just been deleted from Wikipedia. First the Wiki-prog-editors defaced it by removing all the valid content and references, leaving only disparaging language. Then they voted to delete it altogether because there was no valid content and references left.
Congratulations, comrades. We are now officially a non-site populated by non-persons sharing non-thoughts and making non-jokes. Right now I feel pretty much the way I felt while living in the USSR where an invisible hand obstructed any of my efforts to manifest my existence.
I know it's only Wikipedia and we still have our site, but this is a trend typical of Google and social media, let alone the MSM.
1/9/2017 - The content is being constantly changed by the invisible Wiki-commissars. Just yesterday a more or less acceptable balance was achieved after a long and tedious tug of war. But last night almost all of the content and references were gone except for a couple of biased and disparaging paragraphs. This looks like vandalism. These "changes" were followed by a series of new "delete" votes on the discussion thread based on the lack of content and third-party sources - all of which they themselves had just removed.
If I had time I'd write a parody about these guys editing the Solzhenitsyn page, rephrasing and deleting everything until the only content left was the line, "Ex-convict, traitor to the Motherland, wrote anti-communist lies." And then even that line would be deleted by consensus because it failed to establish notability.
1/4/2017 - There is an ongoing Wikipedia discussion, in which you can vote for or against deleting the People's Cube for being "unworthy" to grace the pages of Wikipedia. You can add your two kopeks to the discussion here:
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The People's Cube
1/2/2017 - Our volunteers have now removed the "deletion warning" but someone on the other side quickly replaced it with phony copyright issues and a question about our "noteworthiness," suggesting the Cube may not be noteworthy enough to be on Wikipedia.
This is plain harassment and trolling. The best way to deal with it is to have bulletproof content, which is what I need volunteers for. This requires an experienced Wikipedia editor.

The Wikipedia page about the People's Cube may be deleted in a few days unless some action is taken by those of us with Wikipedia editing credentials, on or before January 6, 2017 - that's five days from now. I think some of our members qualify, I just don't remember who they are.
Today I accidentally discovered this:
That page was created a few years ago by one of the Cubists, but I don't remember who it was; he may no longer be an active member. It has been modified several times since, and to a point I agree that the page could be written and organized better, let alone updated and expanded.
I suspect the complaint was made by one of the activist Wiki-progs who wish the world would comply with their Party-approved narrative. Still, we should keep our house clean and not leave any weak spots for them to stick their fingers in.
If any of you have the needed Wikipedia credentials to edit the People's Cube page, I'm asking for your help. Feel free to email me regarding any additional information or images you may need to do this.
Let's keep this thread clear of any off-topic comments and focus on Wikipedia-related content only.
Thank you in advance,
People's Director
