In the Wikipedia entry for sage, one of the tags has been added by someone:

"This article's section called "Description" does not cite any
references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding
citations to reliable sources. Unverifiable material may be challenged
and removed. (April 2009)"


I can see that in particular, the bit which says:

"A free distribution of the world's most widely used open source
mathematical software that builds easily from source."

could (even should) be challenged. Is there any reference which can show
that?


If one looks at the Mathematica entry, it's clear that 'JonMcLoone' (who
is employed by Wolfram Research), spends a *lot* of time tidying the 
article up - removing any negative comments! But the Mathematica entry 
does look a lot better than the Sage one. The Mathematica entry cites 40
references - the sage one only 4.

I've updated the history a bit, from HISTORY.txt. Adding more history 
entries, and what features were added, would no doubt give the 
impression the project is more active than what it appears from the 
Wikipedia entry.
