The Open Knowledge Foundation is a growing body which has very similar aims to Wikipedia and other Open Knowledge projects. Gordo (talk) 11:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree, why is someone trying to delete what wikipedia does? The article could do with cleanup and expansion, but it is worthy of retention. At the moment, there is no statement of the significance of the work done by the foundation, and that needs to be explicitly stated. As it stands, it is also somewhat orphaned, that also needs to be addressed. Kbthompson (talk) 12:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh thanks for the article. Looks like there are too many references. :-) -- Nichtich (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Desperately needs reliable sources proving it is notable and a rewrite so it's not so spammy. (It also makes it difficult to take them seriously when their tools for determining what is covered by copyright and what is public domain were coming up with responses that were very clearly inaccurate when I checked their validity a while back after someone tried to include them on the public domain article External links section.)

There is some discussion within the Foundation as to whether is is appropriate for members of the organisation to improve the article themselves. Could someone point to the appropriate policy please. --TimClicks (talk) 02:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The WP:CONFLICT page seems the most authoritative. For the record, I am affiliated with the organisation. I'll attempt to add content that satisfies the notability requirement. However, I'll leave others to judge whether I've retained a NPOV and enhanced the POV of the article. -- TimClicks (talk) 03:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After reviewing Template:POV, it seems that reliable third-party sources are what's needed to remove this issue. I believe that I've added a sufficient number to clear the article. Please let me know if there are any residual issues. -- TimClicks (talk) 04:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced, as a footnote, the reference to the presentation with the EFF to the ITU on the failure of DRM. This paragraph was deleted by Rufus Pollock presumably because it might be controversial. However User:Rgrp has a quite obvious conflict of interest here. FringeOkapi (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
