Jeder kann eigene Artikel schreiben und bestehende Artikel bearbeiten - und sei es nur um Tippfehler zu beheben. Dieses Konzept brachte Wikipedia einen bahnbrechenden Erfolg. Auch das Wachstum des Hitchwiki ist sehr vielversprechend.
  • The concept of a wiki consist of public sharing of information in a very efficient way. Everyone can write articles or edit them - even if it's only for correcting spelling mistakes. [ugly english, please correct] That concept led wikipedia to it's groundbreaking success. Now hitchwiki's growing looks very promising for the future.

Wikipedia

If we get to be mentioned in the press we can try to get an article up on Wikipedia. That would definitely improve our pagerank and visibility. guakasite, wikitalk 23:06, 5 September 2008 (CEST)

What kind of article? A hitchwiki-article, or only in their news? Wikipedia tags any links with rel='nofollow', so it would only improve visibility, but that would still be great :) --MrTweek 21:57, 10 September 2008 (CEST)
