THIS WHOLE WIKI THING IS VERY BIZARRE BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD JUST COME BY AND ERASE ALL YOUR PAGES. -- Anon


 * That is why we have special:Recentchanges and page histories. Some of us also have the ability to block the IPs of vandals. In the end it all works out splendidly well. --mav


 * Hmmm. Amazing we've survived this long, isn't it mav? -- Stephen Gilbert 17:10 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)

Not sure where to put it, but countryguide.com links to Wikipedia articles on tourist destinations with the disclaimer "Wikipedia is a communal multilingual project to create a complete, accurate, free encyclopedia. It now contains well over 100 thousand articles in English and is committed to working with language speakers and computing organizations to support as many languages as possible. CountryGuide highly recommends checking this project for possible special local and regional insights and content related to travel, vacation, & destination research that might not be readily available elsewhere. However, our recommendation includes the caveat that our readers understand that it is a wiki, i.e., accepts community input directly from its members, and the information -particularly crucial data- should be verified by other sources."

 * An anonymous user is adding links to countryguide.com to various articles (at least American Samoa and Azerbaijan -- apparently working in alphabetical order). Do we want this?  The site seems semi-useful.... Tuf-Kat
 * I think the site is useful, and the links from our country articles to their corresponding ones are also convenient. - Patrick 20:06 Apr 12, 2003 (UTC)

I've removed Internet-Encyclopedia from the sister projects (or do you let everyone who uses the PediaWiki software and some content call themselves a "sister site"?)
 * For that matter should Enciclopedia Libre be listed there?

I removed several spam listings from a german "fitness" products dealer. That site(s) needs to be nominated to Abusers of Wikipedia, not Friends of Wikipedia. andy 13:38, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)


 * There's all sorts of rubbish in there - I clicked on one and it was porn. We either need to protect this page or watch it more closely. Someone who isn't on their work lunchbreak should check the other links. Secretlondon 13:41, Nov 12, 2003 (UTC)
