wiki-history

i just started a Robomilk entry on wikipedia, although it's quite likely to be deleted because This article provides no meaningful content or history, and/or the text is unsalvageably incoherent. It is patent nonsense (CSD G1).

so i thought i would post it here because it probably is gone by now, but if it isn't then go here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_hargreaves)

Robomilk is a small non-profit website started by Shaun Hargreaves when he was about 11. It originally started under the name of Shaun Hargreaves Inc. This changed to Hargreaves Inc about a year later.

Whilst using these names, Shaun started a number of the Sims related websites, including The Sims on the Web, The Sims on the Web 2.0, Sim Spawn (later changed to Sim Search), Sim Search 2 and Sim Search 3.

Many of these sites lasted no longer than 6 months and were distinct faliures. After the general collapse of Hargreaves Inc, Shaun stood away from websites and avoided the subject whenever possible. A few months later, Shaun returned and started RoboMilk. Until now all of Shaun's websites were hosted on free servers, but now he ws getting out the big guns. During his break Shaun had decided to learn HTML, the language of websites and RoboMilk was to be his first full HTML site; although not very good by his standards today, this was a turning point in Shaun's web building career.

The first reincarnation of the site was just called RoboMilk (preview). But many versions were also released including RMR RoboMilk Regeneration (preview), RoboMilk Flash (preview)and RoboMilk Flash v2 (preview). There have also been many other versions that never made it online including RoboMilk Globe, Robomilk XP, Robomilk Interactive, Robomilk.co.uk, and most recently a version known under the codename of ForestFloor.

After deciding that his dream of a good Robomilk site wasn't going to happen anythime soon, he stopped building and started blogging. He started the Robomilk Blog and has updated it every few days since.

Since the beginning of March 2006, Shaun has been a regular contributor on CSN Animations and was promoted to site manager on the 5th of March 2006. Shaun still partakes in web design with the design of the Robomilk Blog (his first using XHTML) and of CSN Animations.

I do apologise for the person who tagged the Wikipedia article as patent nonsense - it was cruel and irresponsible.
