Recently there have been some questions raised about the nature of the WlugWiki to Wikipedia (and I guess by extension most other Wiki's on the internet) and why we don't "merge with wikipedia instead of duplicating efforts".

Our answer is, that the WlugWiki has quite different aims to Wikipedia. basically Wikipedia aims to be an authorative reference for all things while the WlugWiki is intended as a repository of knowledge of WLUG members and particpants. As such it contains a lot of unsubstantiated claims and opinions that would not be possible on a site like Wikipedia.

In general we try and link to external resources (such as Wikipedia) where appropriate from pages within the WlugWiki. If you see a page that could benefit from a new Wikipedia link feel free to add it.
