Village Pump discussion re:Centiare

"From Google's cache of an early December 2006 Village Pump discussion:

Karl Nagel & Company, LLC starts up business controlled Wiki

"Centiare is an online reference directory. It supports advocate points-of-view (APOV) within protected "user-owned" commercial, non-profit, government, personal, and property Directory listings, and features advanced semantic tagging capabilities to organize, search and report information." See here. -- Zanimum 14:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

WP is NOT for advertising. --Wolf530 (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. I was bring it to people attentions so they could know what sites were trying to compete with us, through wacked and naïve ideas. -- Zanimum 18:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Advocate-point-of-view? Is that like distorting the truth to promote your or your client's agenda by striving to deceive people and then rationalizing what you've done to cover your lapses in morality? Cryptonymius 16:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

So basically, it's an online advertising service. How new... yandman 16:52, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Just noticing, MyWikiBiz is working there now. -- Zanimum 20:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It appears to have pasted in some pieces of text from Wikipedia, such as under city names, without giving credit as required by GFDL. *Dan T.* 18:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Come to think of it, that's true. That's quite illegal. -- Zanimum 20:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

A blatant rip off attempt. I wonder what ought to be done with it. Or just let the stupid lawyers deal with it. -Patstuarttalk|edits 20:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It appears the only thing copied was the main page - the articles themselves are empty. Patstuarttalk|edits 20:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

This one seems to have content from WP. *Dan T.* 22:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

So does anyone want to write a nasty-gram? Patstuarttalk|edits 05:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

"Wacked and naïve"? I'll have to print out and pin up that quote for posterity. Funny thing, Denny Vrandecic called Centiare "pretty exciting" and wished the project "all the best". Maybe he understands it better than Zanimum. Not hard to imagine, being that Vrandecic is one of the three leading developers of Semantic Mediawiki. He's smarter than all of us put together. --JossBuckle Swami 04:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
