Hi All,
After over a year, I found something I would like to post a message about. To my great surprise, I have seen no other post on this subject. On July 4, 2006, Jimmy Wales opened a new wiki devoted to political topics. You can find it at:
http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/Campaigns_Wikia
If you have not visited the site yet, be prepared for Google Ads, POV entries, and - oh yes - an occassional Wikipedian.
Apologies if this is old news...
As Ever,
Ruth Ifcher

So? It's not a Wikimedia project, but a private wiki. Not every wiki has to be NPOV and without ads (and wikia is a commercial wiki provider, so they're bound to have ads).

So? So nothing. Ruth is just warning people who expect to get to some kind of Wikipedia as to what to actually expect.
