WHO THE HECK LETS YOU PUT PERSONAL INFORMATION THIS SITE? TAKE OFF MY INFO. PLEASE DELETE ALL ARCHIVES OF MY DOMAINS.

New question

I see how to edit existing pages, but how does one go about changing the capitalization of existing domain names? (I.e., FirstNePhi.com should be Firstnephi.com, and WitzLaw.com should be Witzlaw.com). It looked like I could change anything BUT that. Thanks much, Sandy Rabinowitz (owner of witzlaw.com and firstnephi.com), 15-Dec-2006.

There are two ways, one described in FixName and the other: You have to create an account first. Once logged in, you will see a move tab next to the edit and history tabs at the top of the page. You can use that to rename the page. Depending on the settings here, you may have to wait a few days after creating the account before you can move pages. -anon 15:39, 28 December 2006 (PST)

Enter new concerns here

Can you reinstate eBay.co.uk, please?. Today both my computers get ebay.com from your home page with everything in USD.

You will need to contact that server directly, AboutUs would be good to discuss what happened. Best, MarkDilley

Lock Pages ?

Why isnt there a way to "LOCK" pages by the company/domain owner?

This could easily turn into a way to defame a company by a competitor. Some of us stay busy and/or may be away from a computer for extended periods of time and unable to be notified of changes. If we dont know changes were made how are we supposed to fix it? Yes, we could fix it when we are made aware but by then the damage could allready be done. This is a cool unique way of getting advertiseing but it has too many possibilities for abuse by being a wiki.

There is a community and staff that patrol RecentChanges for malicious content on a regular basis. We are looking into a domain holder contributed section though.

This is an issue that we are looking into. MarkDilley

Cackleberries.com

Someone continuously changed our information which I understand they can do but now there is a message that says we don't want any information up there. Did you put that there?

FreeDonation.com appears to be a scam.

As a private citizen, I've been investigating FreeDonation.com, which is promoted on your website. None of the causes that it purports to support have said that they are currently receiving anything through this web-site, and the founders have been unresponsive to my queries. Do you have current info about this site. I'd really appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

Rochelle L.

Hello Rochelle, we don't have information on the site, just what is here. If you would like to talk about how to use AboutUs as a resource for your work, please contact me. MarkDilley

Edit Restriction

I wish to have the edit options of my "DRVSRS.com" and "DR.VSRS.jpg" are restricted to only "Aboutus" and "drvsrs" ()

Our current policy is to have all pages open for editing.

Changing a page's name

Hi there! We just started a website http://luckyhonu.com and someone entered the page here as LuckyHoNu.com making it look like Ho Nu were 2 separate words. The site is named after the hawaiian turtle "honu." Is there anyway to change the site location so that it doesn't capitalize that N? Thanks for your time!

-Margaret


Hi Margaret, it is easy to FixName - either place the tag on the page or log in and move the page yourself ;-) - oh heck I might just do it now. Best, MarkDilley

MarkDilley, THANKYOU! *wiki hug!* -Margaret

:-) - thanks!


Visit-Vendee.com

Dear Sir,

What authorization have you got to create and edit this page about my website ????? Visit-Vendee.com

I want you to remove this page as soon as possible !

You can contact me directly to :

Hello, I can remove all the computer generated content from that wiki page. We do view these pages and this site as a community site, for the internet community. Let me know if you have questions. Best, MarkDilley


Removal

Hi, Would you please remove my website information and thumbnail from your site? I have deleted all of my web pages for now. I really don't understand your approach, because people do make errors. Everything is not intentional. Please contact me at: .

Thank you,

Shirl Miller

Hello Shirl, becasue we are a wiki, you can also do that yourself here, but I will go ahead and do that now. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, MarkDilley

WolfsParadiseIrc.com

On the header for WolfsParadiseIrc.com it is spelled wrong. It's like this: WolfsParadSeIrc.com.

It should be WolfsParadiseIrc.com.

Thank you,

K

This is easy, FixName allows you to do it yourself. I will go ahead and do it now :-) Best, MarkDilley

Please remove my site from your wiki

I am the Owner of Toddloewen.com and am Officially requesting that you remove all data and prevent your bots or users from submitting any data regarding the domain Toddloewen.com, www.toddloewen.com, or toddloewen.com. Thank you.

Hi Todd, we are an open edit wiki and while we will blank a page of it's history at a domain holder's request, we won't prevent users from adding information to our site. Let me know if you have any more thoughts or questions. Best, MarkDilley

Mark, the issue here is that none of us put this information up in the first place. You did! There are many opportunities out there to promote our websites, but they are pro-active and nor re-active. You are making huge assumptions about how we want our websites promoted. You really have missed the point of a Wiki here!

Not sure what you mean about missing the point of a wiki. Anyone, on their own blog, can write a review of your website, yes? Do you agree with that? You could ask them to take it down, but would you really excect them to do so? AboutUs is like that, except much more open. You're free to contribute to the article about your domain as well. You can actually talk with those writing the review. We believe this is a very powerful model for community-created content. TedErnst

Re: Captiveight.com and Egostroker.com

I am not sure where you have gotten your information about these web addresses. They are owned by DV Illusions only (www.Dvillusions.com). Also, the picture that is shown for these web addresses is an OLD web site. If possible please make corrections. If you need further information, please contact DV Illusions.

The information came from our bot and it is really easy to UpdateThumbnail. This is a wiki - so feel free to add the correct informations. Best, MarkDilley

Stolen Content

Hello , It has been brought to my attention that you are listing a site that contains a great deal of stolen text content from my site: Beauty-And-The-Bath.com

You are featuring a site doing business as HairStyleBlog.net For just one example, I will ask you to view this sites page at: [1] and then my original content at: [2]

As we have just started to examine this site, I have found over twenty of my articles a vast amount of hairstyle pictures stolen and used. From what we have seen, the entire contents of this site has been stolen and the various site owners are being contacted.

I will ask you to remove this site and it's posts from your site, I do not wish to have to serve a Cease/Order

Thank you for your assistance,

T.Mayer
Beauty And The Bath.com
Hello, I have paired down the information on HairStyleBlog.net and added this to the CopyrightComplaints page. MarkDilley

I want OFF! Not some lame "not elected" page

So, what's the procedure? I don't want ANY information of my domains to appear on this database at all.

We don't have a procedure to remove wiki pages.
If you let us know the domain(s) in which you'd like removed from our wiki we can attempt to remove them on your behalf Miccas 23:12, 22 February 2007 (PST)

wrong info on your site

The address, telephone and fax information you have for my business is incorrect (more than 7 years old).

Hello Jeanette, this is a wiki so feel free to edit it yourself! :-) Maybe I will give you a quick call to see if I can walk you through it real quick. Best, MarkDilley


Correct information

While studying my statistics (www.studiolumi.com), I found this page (aboutus.org). I don't know where you have gathered the information, maybe you have generated it yourself. Here is my address: PL 40, 00711 Helsinki, FINLAND. The official name of the company is Tmi Studio LUMI. When contacting people, I use the name Studio LUMI. I hope that you change the information into a right one.

Yours Sincerely

Reino Laukkanen

I made the changes for you. If there are other changes, you can make them yourself, as this is an open edit site, or you can contact us again. Drew

take out my site

how can I take out my website from aboutus.org?

We will clear out the computer generated content easily. As far as to be completely out, we feel that we are like any other source of information, like a weblog or a search engine we can have information about websites here.

Who Gave you permission to put my website on About Us

I am the owner of UltimateFleshlight.com

Who gave you permission to post details and such about my website?

I don't mind extra publicity, but you have added wording that does not exist in my pages and could effect contractual arrangements with the Fleshlight """ Official """ website and company.

Respond ASAP - this is a legal matter!

looking into it now, we consider what is on that wiki page to be fair use, at one level we are a domain directory. MarkDilley


Question

do you think it's right for child to be models

Personally no, but AboutUs.org has not discussed it. MarkDilley

Other subdomains not using www in front. still end up with www.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it's possible to add domains without the www beeing autogeneration in front. ie: one of the sites is Rimbeyrock.Canadianway.com, but if you click on the link it always sends me to www.Chat.CanadianWay.com

I haven't found yet how to fix this. In the "move"box it states teh link as right but it still adds www.

Actually I have several domains like that.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions and or fixes.

Thanking you in advance...

--PeaceKeeper 22:19, 2 March 2007 (PST) p.s. for the time beeing I've added the www. as extra's in DNS and edited the webservers accordingly.

Hi, thanks for the questions. Actually we switched from non www. to www. as the default for the page name link. (it has always been that way for the thumbnail link). We did this because many folks said they were wanting the www. ;-) What we are looking into is trying to find the way that you want to be referenced and then having the link do that. I think we are a little ways off on that though. Let me know your thoughts. Best, MarkDilley

Status of GLS3Csystems

GLS has been my installer and ISP for some years. My "Home" has, until just recently, remained gls3c.com. This website has disappeared from my screen and I cannot access it via Internet Explorer. The new owner of the service is IELEMENT, to whom I've reported this. What do you know of this website, originally set up by George and Lisa Baker? Appreciate any info. J. Burton

Hello J. Burton, I can not reach the site as well. Please think about documenting the situation on the wiki page Gls3c.com. Let me know if I can help in any way. Best, MarkDilley

Cazania

Hi :-) Thank you for the great thumbnail on Cazania ! Please mend the link in the "go directly to site" moiety ! TIA Keep up the good work! Dan - irismeister 17:49, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Got it! try Cazania.org - Best, MarkDilley

Requesting a IP ban a vandal

This person is vandalized my site +10 times and number of other site articles.
I requesting a IP ban for 72.72.17.4

http://www.aboutus.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=72.72.17.4

I left a note for them to stop. If that doesn't work... MarkDilley

As bad as Patriot Act 13!

This entirely unnecessary further assault on the Netizens of the world is inexcusable on several basic human grounds: 1: It was/is a blatant commercial proposition. To flog ads to unsuspecting/incompetent advertisers. http://portland.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2006/11/13/story2.html?b=1163394000^1374690

2: It has no valuable socially redeeming features at all. ALL of this stolen information is readily available from more legitimate/reliable(?) sources. As an honest venture, permission would be sought - not stolen in the night........

3: A VERY short perusal of comments here will show how THINKING Site owners object to this sort of blatant piracy for commercial gain in the guise of offering some public value. This is an insane venture similar to Youtube and will unfortunately no doubt make a lot of money for the promoters. (Sigh)

4: ANY competitor of a legitimate business can be quite viciously assaulted in this weird world of sick-WIKIS and not even know it has happened.

5: I only found out about this underhanded excretion after receiving phone calls on my thought-to-be well-hidden private phone. The perpetrators under threat revealed this thing as the source.

Is aboutus.org a good thing? YES for spammers, for blackhats, for the evil types that infest the Net.

I respectfully disagree. There are many commercial sites which use information from either whois or that is fair use which do so in a similar manner to us. There is no "stealing" going on. We are wiki enthusiasts, we see and believe in the positive potential. Yes, there is the potential for mis-use, but that exists just as well with blogs, forums and other sites which allow public participation. If you would like your phone number removed, unlike other sites, we would be happy to do so, just tell us what page it's on. -- Ray

(I DON'T CARE) So, is that fair Ray?

Whois sites, search engines, and other community sites all have the potential for abuse, but on the whole are good for the Internet. We are in that space and being a wiki are both more vulnerable, but also quicker to self heal. I don't see how this is not fair. -- Ray

whois googleable?

Paraphrasing a concern raised by someone I was talking with about AboutUs: "Is whois information generally googleable? If not, then AboutUs is taking information that's findable if you're looking for it only and turning it into information that can be stumbled upon. Is this a good thing?" TedErnst

That's a good question, we tried some and it's hit or miss. For example, Google search "whois 2145 Hamilton Avenue" and you will see that this brings you to a whois record for GMoney.com from DNSStuff.com. Ray
