Ok, here are links i collected from this thread.
I searched base of those links on wikipedia and left only those links, which gave any result (roughly sorted by more results first).

SAMIAMNOT, good job making clean simple article, but as rubenwardy stated, it needs improvements and less emphasis on comparing to minecraft.

UPD: oh, yes, now we have official google play client, i hope it will get much more downloads and votes than others.

good idea to create a page for minetest on wikipedia. But the screenshot isnt really up to date. I think the screenshot is important , because google uses this inages in its search.
Minetest runs better on Linux. So I'm using Linux.

That article in my user space is the article that was deleted from wikipedia for bad citations. It is vital to have good reliable citations. It wasn't just made by me, I started writing it.

It's important to realise that wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a game playing guide. Articles shouldn't be trying to promote players to join Minetest, they should only explain what it is.
