Hi Theodoranian,
thank you for your kind respons. I understand that there is a lot of
spam, and I have of course no objection when that is removed. The
problem is imho mainly here that people intend it well, in the case of
events there was already a link to it, but just not yet a page, and
there might be a better approach then to delete it in that case.
I sincerely hope that more people will join in the website and will be
willing to add their dates in the page of tourism planning (the idea
is that people can catch up this way, and plan ahead), but also come
with event-proposals, such as calvinball, a meetup or something else
with which you could make the conference more pleasant.
Best Regards,
Lodewijk

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
wikimania2007.wikimedia.org is definitely a wiki, but at the same time, it
is also an official website of an event.
It needs some organization, including cleaning. I can't say this site is
well organized. But you can check in the recent change page, many people
come to this site, and spam on it.
There is a page for planning things:
http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Planning
As for the [[events]], you can check the history: someone put a {{delete}}
on it, and then it was deleted by the sysop.
As for the [[tourism coordinations]], I think it is deleted by sysop because
he doesn't understand what is this page used for.
I have restored these two pages. Hope to find ways to organize them to well
linked.
Cheers,
Theodoranian

Hello folks,
could someone please explain to me what a wiki is? And why
wikimania2007.wikimedia.org is a wiki? Because the reaction on
initiatives seems to deny the idea i have of a wiki...
(like [[events]] and [[tourism coordinations]] ... )
Just a quick note: If you want something new, I'd suggest to try meta,
and not wikimania2007... Meta *is* a wiki. :P
Thanks,
Lodewijk
