| − | Hi. I added a section on [[George and Dragon Pub]], focusing on the Quiz Night. Is this the kind of content we're looking for? I have to admit I'm a bit fuzzy on the distinctions between this and the Seattle Travel wiki -- I mean, they should be distinct, but I see a lot of room for overlap, as well. -- [[User:Scarequotes|Scarequotes]] 18:19, 9 Jun 2004 (CDT) |

| − | : Hi Scarequotes. Yes, I think the page on [[George and Dragon Pub]] is great. I agree that there is going to be some overlap with wikitravel. I'd hope to keep that to a minimum by focusing more on what people who ''live'' in Seattle would want to know/do/share info about, as opposed to what the average traveler coming here would want to know. For example, trivia night sounds something more for locals than not. And there's always the link to SeattleWiki on wikitravel so they can come here and see what's happening.

I'd be glad to release them under another license that still requires attribution, but not under a license that allows reuse without attribution. Is there a way we can make that work here? |

Amelia |

| − | |||
| − | : Hi Amelia. Of course you are more than welcome to contribute! There is no requirement that people here actually live in Seattle; it's more that the wiki itself is meant have information related to Seattle and the surrounding area. So please feel at home here. -- [[User:Matias|matias ]] 22:18, 12 Jan 2005 (PST) |

| − | |||
| − | I'm a heavy user over at a little wiki we call [[Wikipedia]] ;) At a recent Seattle-area meetup of Wikipedia, one of the things we talked about was setting up a mutually benificial relationship between SeattleWiki and Wikipedia. Many of the people who are drawn to one wiki or the other would enjoy using both. There are many topics that are vitally important for SeattleWiki: neighborhood newspapers, elementary schools, et cetera, that would be tolerated at best, deleted at worst, on Wikipedia. I'd like to set up a page where we can talk about how this works. A few ideas: for the more detailed topics, if a page shows up on Wikipedia, we [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Transwiki transwiki] it here. For the general topics, we keep sister pages and bounce content back-and-forth. I'm sure there's more to it than that. What do you think? |

| − | |||
| − | : I have started a new page, '''[[SeattleWiki:Relationship with Wikipedia]]''', and linked it at the top here for now to talk about this. --[[User:Matias|matias ]] 12:11, 17 Jan 2005 (PST) |

| − | Could we get some interwiki links set up for making links to bus schedules? That would be useful when telling how to get somewhere (for those of us without cars).

||
| − | |||
| − | ::: Thanks! It would be nice if there were a special page in Mediawiki which would list available interwiki links, but I have never found one (the documentation for interwiki links in Mediawiki is not very good). In the meantime, a page for such things would be great! [[User:Trent|Trent]] 16:01, 18 Jan 2005 (PST) |
