===Description===
====EN====
'''Yellowikis – ''Open Business Listings''''', originally on the [[Archive.org:20070420081327/http://www.yellowikis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page|Yellowikis.org]] domain, was a '''{{tag|business}} {{tag|directory}}''', aiming to be like Yell.com, YellowPages.com, [http://www.dnb.com/us/ Dun and Bradstreet], and [http://www.hoovers.com Hoovers] all rolled into one; but in an open, freely editable [[wiki]] format, for both companies and users.  Global, {{tag|Wiki Multilingual|multilingual}}, and a lot more ecologically friendly!
 
The site launched in January {{tag|Founded in 2005|2005}} using the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, and its content was released under the {{tag|Wiki GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License}} (GFDL).  As of 2006, the directory was still quite empty.

'''Yellowikis – ''Open Business Listings''''', à l'origine sur le domaine [[Archive.org:20070420081327/http://www.yellowikis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page|Yellowikis.org]], est un '''{{tag|directory|répertoire}} d'{{tag|business|entreprises}}''', visant à devenir comme les Yell.com,  YellowPages.com, [http://www.dnb.com/us/ Dun and Bradstreet], et [http://www.hoovers.com Hoovers] tout en un; mais sur un format ouvert, librement éditable ala [[wiki]] tant pour les sociétés que les utilisateurs.  Global, {{tag|Wiki Multilingual|multilingue}}, et beaucoup plus amical sur le plan écologique!
 
Le site s'est lancé en janvier {{tag|Founded in 2005|2005}} en utilisant la balise {{tag|MediaWiki}} logiciel, et son contenu a été publié sous la licence {{tag|Wiki GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License}} (GFDL).  En 2006, le répertoire était encore assez vide.

===Yell threatens to shut down Yellowikis===
''05-Jul-2006''
 
From [[English Wikinews|Wikinews]] comes this story:
:{{Wp|Yell Group|Yell}}, the [[:Category:Earth|worlds]] biggest yellow pages [[:Category:Publishing|publisher]], today threatened to shut down Yellowikis, the wiki based yellow pages {{tag|directory}}.
 
Yell accused Yellowikis co-founders Paul Youlten and Rosa Blaus (his 15 year-old daughter) of "misrepresentation", "passing off", and suggested that using the name ''Yellowikis'' could "constitute an 'instrument of fraud'".
 
Yell is demanding that Paul and Rosa close down the website, transfer the domain names to Yell, and agree to pay damages to Yell for loss of profits.  Yell made $2.4bn in 2005, whereas Yellowikis had a loss of $500.  The $500 was used to print T-shirts promoting Yellowikis at the [[Wikimania 2005|Wikimania]] conference in [[:Category:Frankfurt|Frankfurt]].
 
Paul Youlten said: "This threat from Yell to shut us down looks like a sign of desperation.  The whole yellow pages [[:Category:Industry|industry]] is in crisis.  Use of the paper directories is collapsing as people get [[:Category:Broadband|broadband]] Internet connections in their homes.  Small and medium sized businesses are beginning to notice that their customers are ringing them up and saying 'I found you on [[:Category:Google|Google]]' and not 'I found you in the yellow pages'".
 
Rosa Blaus said: "Maybe they are a bit jealous of Yellowikis because we allow companies to add videos, skype IDs, email addresses, instant messaging, in as many categories and languages as they like for free".
 
Rosa Blaus suggested to her father that they set up Yellowikis after she noticed small businesses were deleted from [[English Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] for not being "[[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopaedic]]".
 
Yellowikis has been growing at 8.7% month-on-month, and has 494 editors and about 5,000 articles listed.
 
The threat of [[:Category:Law|legal]] action came after an article published in ''The Independent'' newspaper mentioned Yellowikis.
