OK, time to pin my colours to the mast - in my opinion, AboutUs is definately NOT a [[wiki]]. According to their [http://www.aboutus.org/Special/stats/site stats], as of 11:14, 29 June 2011 (PDT), <cite>"There are 20,445,421 total pages in the database, 983,674 of which have been edited. This includes "talk" pages, pages about AboutUs, minimal "stub" pages and redirects."</cite> - these figures prove it is NOT a wiki. From over 20 million 'pages' on their site, less than 1 million pages (which include ''"talk" pages, pages about AboutUs, minimal "stub" pages and redirects'') are 'editable'. The whole point of a wiki is that person A creates a 'page' from scratch, person B adds a bit more, person C changes it some more . . . etc. | |||
Futhermore, it is clear from their home page, the title bar of the browser states <cite>"AboutUs: Easy-To-Understand Tools & Resources For '''SEO''' and '''Web Marketing'''".</cite>; and their licence states <cite>"Editable content is available under the terms of the GFDL and the CC By-SA License. | |||
All non-editable content and all content in the Learn section are copyrighted by AboutUs Inc."</cite> | |||
Therefore, because 'AboutUs' does NOT evoke the <u>entire</u> spirit of a wiki (including wholly attribitable edit summaries), I'm gonna add the '''<nowiki>{{NotAWiki}}</nowiki>''' tag, and change the page stats to ZERO! [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 11:14, 29 June 2011 (PDT) | |||
