What is the point of this Wiki?
What is the point of this Wiki? The front page says "somewhat more flexibility is allowed than in Wikipedia". Can somebody specify what is meant by "somewhat more flexibility"? What sort of things are accepted here that would not be allowed in Wikipedia? Otherwise this is just duplication of effort. 81.151.231.122 11:06, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Intentionally flexible (and with a nod towards the Wikinfo position): I am willing to allow London related topics that would not be considered on Wikipedia - details that would be considered 'too obscure', 'too much original research', walks etc.

The main reason there is so much duplication/borrowing from WP - there are effectively only two people developing this wiki (not for want of my trying to get others involved): the choice, until other contributors come in copying from WP is easiest. Jackiespeel 12:53, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

(Cont) There are #many# wikis on the Wikia platform which seem to be abandoned and/or of limited usefulness which include many of the other city-themed wikis.

I have various ideas for development once more 'currently wanted pages' are developed.

If you have any London-related topics feel free to add them. Jackiespeel 14:18, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
