[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia as part of a social media strategy for hotels

[Mike Dupont]

well wikitravel and openstreetmap are a good place to land those,
and I guess I will collect them in the speedy deletion wiki and
process them there,
since i started the wiki there have been no hotels there,
http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/index.php?search=hotel&fulltext=Search

it is hard to collect all this information for osm, so why not have
people add it to wikpedia first?
