Talk:City wiki

message: Well there seems to be a disagreement as to whether the example list of City Wikis should be alphabatized or in order of which one has the most articles, etc.   I think alphabatized makes more sense because if we try to keep them ordered by article count, this page will have to be modified a bunch of times.   I'm guessing that the IP 69.237.198.2 who is countering my edits belongs to someone who manages or contributes to DavisWiki since the article count method favors putting DavisWiki first.   Ironically enough, alphabatizing them puts Bloomingpedia first.  I don't want to start a big fight over "I want my wiki to be first because its better" so I'll leave it the way it is for now until we can have more discussion about it. -- Suso (2005-08-18 15:54 GMT)
:Yeah, I think at least for now Alphabetical order makes the most sense.--Damian 19:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with the 2 of you. Entries should be alphabetized. Must remember that it's the end user who needs to make the most sense out of the info and alphabetical is the easiest to navigate. Most content just tries to make it a contest, of which it's not --Cpfa eljefe 03:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Kawana removed the links to the city wikis themselves and I'm not sure why.  Not having them on this page relies on them being listed on the article for the city and that may not always be the case. -- Suso 23:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: you may read Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/City_Wiki, why the external links are removed. If you miss a city wiki in the cities article, add it there. --Kawana 13:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why were the links removed? 

message: Hi, this is not an article, this is a collection of external links. --Kawana 09:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you meant too many? Anyway I don't agree. The article is good and the attached list is useful. Lists have an important purpose on Wikipedia in consolidating information. -- Kleinzach 10:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: * Bhamwiki, for Birmingham, Alabama was founded in March 2006. It currently has over 4,300 articles, over 150 editors, over 1,000 uploaded images, and nearly 34,000 edits... which seems like it would place it in the top 10 here. --Dystopos (talk) 18:38, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Portland, Oregon's wiki has less than 500 entries after well over a year.  Does that really count as one of the largest city wikis?  Dentonwiki has over 600 after 4 months.  What counts as a large number? Andral (talk) 07:53, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I would like to propose that we restore and update the general list of city wikis which was removed last April.  As has been pointed out above, WP:Notability is not at all a requirement to be included in such a list (since we are not creating separate articles for each wiki, but merely documenting them on the existing 'City wiki' page).--Pharos (talk) 15:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi I suggest adding my wiki Yellpedia to the list. Yellpedia is one of the largest wikis in the world with over 10 million pages. We uploaded the entire United States Yellow Pages to create start(stub) pages for everyone to come edit. Yellpedia was the Semantic Mediawiki wiki of the month for May 2013. 
**The internal mediawiki statistics don't work correctly on Yellpedia because of the way we uploaded the data. But the size of Yellpedai can be easily checked by running a search for any State in the nation (example search: State CA-- which will return over a million pages)Christharp (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
