− | Wikipedia Review was originally founded in November 2005, by a person calling himself Igor Alexander (this was merely a screen name), on the forum hosting site ProBoards. It is now located at its own domain name created by the user Blissyu2. Selina was the first user on the site, and was a prominent member at the old ProBoards forum, along with Blissyu2. The site requires registration using a valid e-mail address to post and claims to discourage the operation of multiple accounts by a single user. | + | Wikipedia Review was originally founded in November 2005, by a person calling himself Igor Alexander (this was merely a screen name), on the forum hosting site ProBoards.

The forum is run by [[Invision Power Board]] (IPB) software. |
