Well, I have to say that I dont agree with your point of view. As you say, Wikipedia isnt a travel agency, neither do we. We just offer information about a big event happening in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and that could result interesting to the tourist visiting this country. And its hard for me to understand why such a big event, a whole year of cultural and artistic program, can not be on wikipedia, and the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa can be, or the Olympic Games in London 2012, or the candidate city Madrid 2016. So sport can have a space in an enciclopedia and culture and art can not?

Also, I checked some music festivals, and they have a space in Wikipedia (Glastonbury Festival, Melt festival).

And is true, no European Capital of Culture has an article in Wikipedia, but for instance if you search for Vilnius 2009 (Vilnius is ECOC in 2009), it takes you to an article of a Wrestling champinship...is this more an enciclopedical event or topic? How many people would be interested in attending the wrestling championship? and how many people would be interested in attending any of the artistic and cultural activities of an European Capital of Culture?

And its true, I took the text from the website, but this is the website of our Foundation, and our communication department wrote it for communication meanings. But if you ask me to write something diferent, I would do it. We just want to create the best event for the audience, and we want our message (which is a non commercial message) to reach to as many people as possible, as in the end, the goal of this project is to be enjoyed for the people, and the more, the better.

Hope we can find an agreement on this. Or at least keep discussing about it.
