• Delete, nice idea, but still an ad. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Alexa is 45,465, which seems low for a web host. Flowerparty■ 11:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• This entry has been Transwikied to Yellowikis by User:Uncle_G's bot --Payo 12:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • What is Yellowikis, and how can we "transwiki" to a site that is not a sister project? User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • This is what a Google search turned up: [1]. They use the same skin as us, anyway, but I've never heard of them. A Meta search for Yellowiki turns up zilch, so I doubt they're a sister project. --Blackcap | talk 00:06, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
    • See Yellowikis (AfD discussion). In the very same way that we transwiki to that subset of the sibling projects to which transwikification is permitted. The procedure is identical. Uncle G 01:02, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I strongly protest the use of the term transwiki to describe moving GFDL articles to non-Wikipieda projects. User:Zoe|^(talk) 23:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Then you are on your own, and in disagreement with many other editors, since excluding all projects except for Wikipedia ones is not its generally accepted meaning. Excluding all projects except for Wikimedia ones is not its generally accepted meaning, even. I suggest that you read the first sentence of m:transwiki to see how broadly encompassing the concept is, in Angela's own words. I also suggest that if you are going to propose changing the terminology to your newly-coined highly restricted meaning, you do so not here but on the talk page at Meta. Uncle G 01:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
          • You're biting a bit hard, mate. A simple, "That's not the generally accepted definition of tranwiki, see m:transwiki," would probably have sufficed. Just a friendly thought. --Blackcap | talk 04:45, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
          • Ohhhhhhhh. Now I get it. If I want an article deleted from Wikipedia, all I have to do is "transwiki" it to some obscure GFDL wiki and delete it, huh? User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
            • Again, you will find yourself in disagreement with many other editors in that understanding. Please read the existing extensive discussions of this, beginning with the very talk page that I mentioned above and proceeding to Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/Archive, Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Archives, and Template talk:Move to Wiktionary. Uncle G 18:46, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per all. --Blackcap | talk 19:35, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• I don't get it... how does this differ from Geocities and Freewebs? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dooga (talk • contribs) 2005-09-20 03:37:48 UTC.
  • GeoCities is listed on NASDAQ and its purchase and subsequent alteration by Yahoo! was covered by news media. Freewebs has been the subject of independent news stories, too. This is not the case for Trap17. Uncle G 10:15, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
