[edit] Tricky questions
It's a bit ironical that, when I first came across this article, the version in the answers.com Wikipedia mirror was a much better article than the version we had ourselves!
The problems I see are:
- Defining original research, and deciding when citations are needed, are related and non-trivial questions. We don't ask for a citation to say the sky is blue or that Lincoln was a US president, that's common knowledge, but it's sometimes helpful to repeat such facts. Similarly, surely we don't need a citation to say that PBwiki is a wiki farm?
- Deciding where to draw the line between description and promotion. The complete features list probably belongs on the PBwiki site, not here, an external link will do and save us the trouble of keeping it current. On the other hand, the more relevant features should be documented here.
So this is going to be a tricky article to expand. Much of what I have added has been previously added by other editors, and then removed! Such are the joys of a wiki. Andrewa 20:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rem sources tag
I've removed the {{sources}} tag. I've added some external links which should surely now be adequate, but IMO the existing links were adequate anyway, and there was no comment here as to what more was needed. Feel free to comment as to whether the article is now adequately sourced. Andrewa 19:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requests for citations, etc
I've added a couple of tags on the specific notes I think need to be tagged. As it is, I don't think this article meets the criteria for proving notability; the one external link only mentions it in passing and the other one produced a 404. Besides needing some general expansion, I would suggest seeing if someone can find any references on the campaign PBWiki did with Yahoo! Groups. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tiakalla (talk • contribs) 05:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

As the founder & CEO of PBwiki, I'm going to try to avoid / minimize my further edits of the page to dodge a very obvious conflict of interest. I'd recommend using the company infobox on this page, since PBwiki, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. To the right is an example of what this could look like on the page. We have over 150,000 wikis and several million pages of user generated content; either statistic of which makes us larger than any other WikiFarm to my knowledge. I'm happy to work with fellow Wikipedians to make sure this entry is accurate and objective. (I'd actually suggest naming the page PBwiki and having a redirect from PeanutButterWiki to PBwiki.)
