Domaining - Wikipedia

[GF]

Would someone be kind enough to update the "domaining" definition on Wikipedia? I think it could be a heck of a lot better, and should be cleaned up a bit.

I'm sure everyone would give + rep to the kind NP'er who would update it.

why you need it to be updated ?

Paragraph 1 begins:
"Domaining is the business of buying, selling, developing and monetizing Internet domain names."

Paragraph 2 begins:
"Domaining is the business of acquiring and monetizing Internet domain names for their use primarily as an advertising medium rather than for resale."

Why does it require a second paragraph?

I think the point GF4444 is making is that parts of the article are repetitive, not to mention incomplete.

As any serious domainer knows, there are a lot of moving parts to this business. The Wikipedia article does not currently do much justice to our business and/or put it in as positive a light as could be possible with a more comprehensive account of domaining.

And yet, whenever anyone searches for "domaining" at Google, that article is right at the top of the heap.

Thank you, dkh.

That was the point I tried to convey. :bingo:

There were a couple misguided/ignorantly opinionated sentences which are now gone from the text and a few words added to read: "Although controversially and mistakenly compared to cybersquatters, Domainers differentiate and legitimize themselves by..."
