==Description==
'''Yellowikis – ''Open Business Listings''''', originally on the [http://web.archive.org/web/20070420081327/http://www.yellowikis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Yellowikis.org] domain, is a '''business directory''', aiming to be like [http://www.Yell.com Yell.com],  [http://www.yellowpages.com Yellow Pages], {{deadEL}}  [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|FoundedIn2005|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.  Add your favourite companies to it!

'''Yellowikis – ''Open Business Listings''''', à l'origine sur le domaine [http://web.archive.org/web/20070420081327/http://www.yellowikis.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Yellowikis.org], est un '''répertoire d'entreprises''', visant à devenir comme les [http://www.Yell.com Yell.com],  [http://www.yellowpages.com Yellow Pages], {{deadEL}}  [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!


From [[Wikinews]] comes this story:
Le site s'est lancé en janvier {{tag|FoundedIn2005|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. Ajoutez-y vos sociétés favorites!
: [[Wikipedia:Yell Group|Yell]], the worlds biggest yellow pages publisher, today threatened to shut down [[Yellowikis]], the wiki based yellow pages 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'."
Voir aussi: [[Wikipedia:Yellowikis]].


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 conference in Frankfurt.
===Languages===
Yellowikis is available in the following [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]]:–  {{tag|Wiki Arabic}}, {{tag|Wiki Catalan}}, {{tag|Wiki Chinese}}, {{tag|Chinese Traditional}}, {{tag|Wiki Czech}}, {{tag|Wiki Danish}}, {{tag|Wiki Dutch}}, {{tag|Wiki English}}, {{tag|Wiki Finnish}}, {{tag|Wiki French}}, {{tag|Wiki German}}, {{tag|Wiki Hungarian}}, {{tag|Wiki Italian}}, {{tag|Wiki Japanese}}, {{tag|Wiki Norwegian}}, {{tag|Wiki Polish}}, {{tag|Wiki Portuguese}}, {{tag|Wiki Romanian}}, {{tag|Wiki Russian}}, {{tag|Wiki Spanish}}, {{tag|Wiki Swedish}}, {{tag|Wiki Thai}}, and {{tag|Wiki Ukrainian}}.


Paul Youlten said: "This threat from Yell to shut us down looks like a sign of desperation. The whole yellow pages industry is in crisis. Use of the paper directories is collapsing as people get 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 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."

:[[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 [[:Category:Directory|directory]].


Rosa Blaus suggested to her father that they set up Yellowikis after she noticed small businesses were deleted from Wikipedia for not being "encyclopaedic".
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'".
