ReasonThere is plenty of other websites and there is even Dmoz for this. --Sannita (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been thinking about in the past about articles on Wikipedia that would be considered non encyclopedic particularly articles about legal entities that just aren't large enough for a Wikipedia articles. So an idea recently occurred to me that perhaps a wiki could be made to be used for small groups, charities, legal entities and other things that otherwise wouldn't qualify for Wikipedia. This would more or less be used as a wiki advertising platform (thus the name for wikiads which probably can be renamed) used for commercial use by the companies not by the Wikimedia Foundations. However this site would not be used to transmit advertisements and company info across the Wikimedia site. This would provide excellent collaboration (and perhaps maybe some rivalry that the Administration would have to create policies to end)between customers and companies as they could provide reviews and such while the companies can describe their products and services. This would be useful for small companies who perhaps need ease of a "website" even though it would not be a website host.

Wikijobs[edit]

Additionally this wiki can be used almost as a Wikijobs wiki. This can be used as a "job wanted" wiki. Users who are looking for jobs in a certain area, company or category can perhaps search for jobs here, while adding reviews of jobs (such as their payment for the job, how they are treated the experience of the job).
