WikiCity Guides | '''WikiCity Guides''' provides a city [[wiki]] for every {{tag|Cities|city}}. It's a collection of on-line communities where anyone can contribute stories, photos, opinions, and local events! Find things to do, places to visit, share local {{tag|history}}, discuss issues within your community, or post a free classified ad in the local WikiCity Guides Marketplace. | ||
[[web.archive:20101216095443/http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewContent.aspx?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/06-25-2009/0005050657&EDATE=|Officially launched]] on June 18th, {{tag|FoundedIn2009|2009}}, '''WikiCity Guides''' makes towns accessible, defining each not just as a dot on a map or a collection of statistics, but as a chorus of raucous, opinionated {{tag|people}} falling in love with their hometown all over again. WikiCity Guides is an on-line publisher designed to promote local {{tag|commerce}}, {{tag|community}}, {{tag|tourism}}, and everyday life within any of the 22,000 {{tag|United States|U.S.}} towns it serves. It serves these communities much like an on-line newspaper, yet as a [[wiki]], any of its readers are allowed to contribute content. Even in its infancy, with over 13 million pages, WikiCity Guides was formerly one of the [[web.archive:20101216095443/http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_wikis#Requests_for_inclusion_into_the_statistics|largest wiki in the world]] with nearly 13 million articles on record. As of January 2012, the entire site returns a 404 error (apart from the homepage, which displays 'hello world!'). | |||
