Linux spam on wikipedia.

[Tomer Cohen]

Here is what they posted about two weeks ago -
http://whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=6258

Jaya is the same of linux-israel. Don't look too confused, I don't know
anyone who is using their website, but seems that someone actually using
their services. Still, I am agreeing with you that they should not place
link to thier website in Wikipedia unless it is really worth it.

P.S., exteranl links in Wikipedia are always nofollow'ed.
