I was unable to find any page for "Revolution March" on Wikipedia. Also, no luck finding the link for article submission. Any idea how one can post or create a new article on Wikipedia??

Sorry, I'm banned from Wikipedia for saying Global Warming was a hoax.

well they have pages on movies that are coming out next year, so why not a page on "revolution march". It's not like there is no planning going on for the march. We have a official date, volunteers etc

Unfortunately, from what I have seen in the past, biased Wikipedia editors will attempt to remove any information that they disagree with, despite the website's stated mission of presenting an NPOV (neutral point-of-view) source of information.
It happened to G. Edward Griffin's page because not enough "reliable" (mainstream) media sources could be found mentioning him. The few mainstream sources that could be found painted him in a very unflattering light. Henceforth, his Wikipedia entry now makes him look like some kind of lunatic quack.
Here's a saved version of his old page:

Here's the new page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward_Griffin
It is especially easy for an editor to remove or distort information related to the Ron Paul movement since the rEVOLution, by its very essence is all about tearing down the power structure of the media, the "4th branch of government" and Wikipedia's rules require you to be able to cite a MSM source in order for your edits to remain unchallenged. And you can't cite media sources like Lewrockwell.com since these are "conspiracy theory websites" and not considered "reliable" according to Wikipedia.
If an entry is created for the Revolution March, it will either be removed by an editor for lacking reliable citations, or a mainstream source will do a completely biased and derogatory piece about the March and the Wikipedia entry will be edited to reflect that, making the March look like some kind of kooky, krazy 9/11 truth UFO-disclosure tin-foil hat convention.
For those reasons, I would recommend not making a Wikipedia entry until some mainstream media sources do unbiased and fair stories about it.
What we need is a few individuals sympathetic to Ron Paul who have the time available to become knowledgeable Wikipedia editors. Then we can fight back against the pedants who currently try to censor everything related to RP and the entire freedom movement.
Note: Not all Wikipedia editors are bad. I have seen many users who stand up to those trying to remove information. We just need more people doing that.
