| |
| − | :* [[User:Spacegeek4|Spacegeek4]], thanks for pointing these out. I think that the value of [[AboutUs]] is the fact that we have information on these sites so that users can know that these are malware and have a discussion about this. I note that both pages have "Community Reviews" attesting to this, but this information can be made ever more valuable by supplanting those reviews with the information and links you've provided here. I don't want to speak for the rest of the AboutUs community when I say this, but that's certainly what I'd do with these malware sites and other known "bad guys". I see [[AboutUs]] as potentially being a great resource when people are considering purchasing or downloading software (or other goods and services), and that the open edit format allows users to share first hand not just their advertising-slanted text, but real human concerns and experiences that might not be voiced on the so called "objective" websites. Sorry for the diatribe, but this is a soapbox I'm very fond off. -- [[TakKendrick]]
| |
| − | :*I aggree. It is a good idea to warn users about the "dark alleys" of the internet but the link on top of every page could be dangerous. According to Stop Badware's website guidelines (http://www.stopbadware.org/home/guidelines#website) a SINGLE link to an exploit site makes the linking site a "website that hosts or distrubutes badware" and a large amount of links to other badware sites also makes the site bad.Its a bit over protective but those are the guidelines.I'll rewrite the articles that I noted sometime.--[[User:Spacegeek4|Spacegeek4]] 20:58, 11 April 2007 (PDT)

The [[Portal:LASIK|LASIK Portal]] began as an organizational experiment and quickly morphed into an exploration into, and demonstration of, the possibilities of the AboutUs wiki. The initial idea was to synthesize encyclopedic information and commercial listings into a richly interlinked framework. Building off of a generic portal concept, we set to work researching the [[LASIK]] procedure and building out pages on its [[Portal:LASIK/History|history]], [[Portal:LASIK/Surgery|the surgery ]] itself, [[Portal:LASIK/AfterSurgery|after care]], [[Portal:LASIK/Equipment|equipment]], etc. Once these general informational sections were complete, we built out a location-specific segment of the portal for [[LASIK:Manhattan|Manhattan]] (sections for other cities are being built as we speak). To make our resource truly unique, we personally interviewed every available [[LASIK]] center in Manhattan to garnish as much information as humanly possible. After filling out individual profiles for each provider on their respective AboutUs pages, we migrated the information into a [[LASIK:Manhattan|comparative matrix]] for all [[LASIK]] centers in Manhattan.
