[edit] NSK

Anyone else have concerns with the amount of advertising of wikinerds by NSK on wikipedia? The bellman 09:17, 2005 Jan 9 (UTC)

[edit] JnanaBase

Hello, I would like some Wikipedian to add JnanaBase to Wikipedia:Alternative outlets. JnanaBase is a wiki which allows you to do anything you want as long as you stay within the minimum possible legal and decency limitations. We accept Wikipedia:Votes for deletion articles and articles deleted from Wikipedia as long they are legal and not copyright violations. Thanks for considering my wiki for inclusion to your Alternative outlets page. Wikinerd 06:54, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

  • So do Geocities, Angelfire and any other free website. Given the lack of size, traffic and importance of your site (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/JnanaBase) I'd suggest you do not promote it here. Wikipedia is not a webguide. Radiant_>|< 08:59, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Nikolaos S. Karastathis (NSK), if that's who you are: as I'm sure you know very well, this page used to contain a description of JnanaBase. Your request is disingenuous. I originally created this page, and I am the one who originally included JnanaBase on it. I am not the one who deleted it, but your recent shenanigans in attempting to use Wikipedia for promotion of your website, have angered me to the point where I no longer assume good faith. Do not expect me to help you. I strongly advise any Wikipedians tempted to respond to this request not to do so until they have familiarized themselves with Wikinerd's recent activities, which have brought him into conflict with the community.

[edit] Google Base

Would Google Base [1]be a good alternative outlet? 168.209.98.35 19:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Perhaps this is not in the spirit of Wikipedia but I was wondering if there was a template that could direct some vandals to try these alternatives.--Dylan Lake 22:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge in from Not Wikipedia

I am merging in content from the "Wikipedia:Not Wikipedia" page, which is now just a redirect to this page. See discussion at Wikipedia talk:Not Wikipedia. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 22:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] XeNTaXWiki?

I understand that this probably sounds (very, very, very) presumptuous of me, but I was wondering about the possibility of adding XeNTaXWiki to this list as a general file format encyclopedia. I understand that there are other websites probably more worthy of inclusion (such as Wotsit.org), but this, as far as I know, is the only wiki of its type and scale. If it's not listworthy, I'd be interested in hearing why and what I could do to help it towards that end. And yes, this could very well be a conflict of interest on my part. ;) —Dinoguy1000 00:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Too many shortcuts

I updated the syntax for {{shortcut}} as per CAT:SHORTFIX on your project page. In the process I notice that there are six shortcuts. The syntax currently allows only five. Only the five appear on the page as of now. You will have view the source to see the sixth. Of course the sixth will still work even though it does not appear in the box. If I remember correctly there is a solution to this problem in the template documentation. I think I should let those in the project deal with this issue. Sorry I could not be of more help.
