Please
re-read the context below - of course, you're right that "wiki" is not
equal to wikip/media - but that's not what Andre or Ruth were saying
How were they saying otherwise? They thought wikia = wikipedia?
-Bop
Are you being deliberately obtuse? Nowhere did anyone say "Wikia -
Wikipedia" apart from you.
Ruth mentioned the following:
"On July 4, 2006, Jimmy Wales opened a new wiki devoted to political
topics. You can find it at"
Andre mentioned:
"So? So nothing. Ruth is just warning people who expect to get to some
kind of Wikipedia as to what to actually expect."
Now, I don't see anywhere there where they say "Wikia is Wikipedia".
I think it is quite a reasonable thing to announce on the list and we
would have saved everyone a lot of time if you hadn't have gone off on
one over something you thought you read.
Incidentally, Ruth is right, it is not "just another Wiki", it is "just
another Wiki run by the guy who runs/owns/$your verb here$ Wikipedia".
Hence interesting, but another Wiki, say "Wikiporn" (recent AfD
candidate) would /not/ be interesting because it isn't run by Jimbo
Wales.
