Your Own Photo Tour
Would you like have your own photo tour? That's entirely possible. Just send me the photos you want to see, and I'll show you how to create and edit your own tour. It should be a geek's tour, though.

Wiki Spam is unwanted contents that some companies use to hype their products. You can type company URLs into a wiki page and hence increase the pointed-to website's search engine ranking. We don't want wiki spam here.

We take two measures:

  • First, we use the "nofollow" rule which tells search engines that URLs pointing out of this wiki should not be incorporated into their search algorithm data. While this makes spamming this wiki useless, wiki spammers have nevertheless kept doing it.

  • Second, because of continued spamming, we protect submissions with a Turing Test, that is you need to understand that you have to type in a submission code whenever you create or change a wiki page.
