Title: Wikipedia entry for DiscreetFX
Post by: Pyromania on March 16, 2011, 11:54:49 PM: Since we really should not do this ourselves we are willing to give some free goodies to someone that can make a nice Wikipedia page for DiscreetFX. Thanks in advance for your help.

It's been sitting blank ever since... :(

I bet the thing they are most interested in is making money. I think Wikipedia is the second most visited website in the world but they never break even. They are always asking for money on the banners of articles.
