From [[Wikinews]] comes this story:
[[image:SpaceDebateLogo.jpg|left|100px]]More and more creative ideas are being thought of every day. WikiBios allow people to create a stub of a biography and then have their friends, family and co-workers edit it to perfection … or honesty! I’m not sure what Wiki Engine it uses, but what is neat is that they’ve gone beyond basic wiki added functionality that really makes this specific application sing. For example, on a given page, you’ll see links for “People I know”, “Bio’s I’ve edited” and “My Editors”. That’s rich because allows the user to quickly browse around various circles of people. I’m impressed and think this will do well.  <small>[[RecentChanges.info/SpaceDebate|read  more]]</small>

: They 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.'" <small>[[RecentChanges.info/Yell threatens to shut down Yellowikis|read  more]]</small>
