[http://www.wikicity.com/wiki/Main_Page WikiCity Guides] is a project designed to make communities accessible, defining each not just as a dot on a map or a collection of statistics, but as a chorus of raucous, opinionated citizens falling in love with their hometown all over again. Much like Wikipedia, WikiCity Guides is a free wiki, and anyone can contribute. However, WikiCity Guides is different because it is designed to promote local community, commerce, tourism, and everyday life within the towns it serves - thus welcoming content that it typically not suited for Wikipedia.
