Wikipedia isn't (or isn't intended to be) a platform for promotion.

That's not what I wrote. I said a Wikipedia entry is required for Twitter verification... Where we do promotion (On Twitter).
I'm surprised more ambitious people don't have "having an entry on Wikipedia" as a life goal.
It's def. not any sort of life goal. More like getting a driver's license, so that you can drive. Once you pass the test, the driver's test is no longer a concern (unless you change countries perhaps).
