I'm not too concerned. Their notability standards seem to be very loose, and they have few of the trappings that we emphasize: BLP, neutrality, reliable sourcing, brilliant prose, etc. The software is also much more focused on social networking. Furthermore, Hudong is not free.
I also wonder what fluff they have marked as "articles," because their category on wildlife is quite threadbare: http://www.hudong.com/categoryalldocs/%E8%87%AA%E7%84%B6%E7%94%9F%E7%89%A9/ --- On Mon, 4/20/09, geni <[email protected]> wrote: From: geni <[email protected]> Subject: [WikiEN-l] We've been overtaken.

Still I think we need to get a clearer idea of what is going on at Hudong. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
