domain WIKI domain

[Anthony-Martin]

WitchPedia.com. This domain is synonymous to WikiPedia.com. Wiki means "witch" or "wicca" in Old English (also means "witch") and it in fact gave the name to Wikipedia ("WiccaPedia").

Please appraise.

Thanks,
Tony

Where's the option for less than $4,000?

 

[Anthony-Martin]

Less than 4 thousand?

Where's the option for less than $4,000?

The option is omitted because the question is for the ***developed*** domain WitchPedia.com.

Developed doesn't mean it will be $4,000+

 

[dgridley]

I agree.. developed (which apparently it isn't) means you figure in traffic and revenue and multiply by 12 for a rough guesstimate.. as is, there isn't much value to the domain without branding and development IMO.

Developed doesn't mean it will be $4,000+

 

[Anthony-Martin]

Well...

Developed doesn't mean it will be $4,000+

Then just please appraise this domain in the thread.

Thanks,
Tony

Can't believe it. Someones might want to run their own Wikipedia, and that is what WitchPedia.com would be suitable for.

You're drawing a long bos with the Wiki = Witch argument.

From Wikipedia itself:

The first WikiWikiWeb (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki), is named after the "Wiki Wiki" line of "Chance RT-52 shuttle buses" in Honolulu International Airport, Hawaii by Ward Cunningham. Cunningham named WikiWikiWeb that way because he remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the so-called "Wiki Wiki" Chance RT-52 shuttle bus line that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web." "Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of "wiki", a Hawaiian-language word for fast. The word wiki is a shorter form of wiki wiki (weekie, weekie). The word is sometimes interpreted as the backronym for "What I know is", which describes the knowledge contribution, storage and exchange function.

Wiki comes from the Hawaiian word for quick, not witch.

However, Witchpedia would be a good name for a site devoted to witch-craft.

I am starting my own Wikipedia, but it is not about witches, so I registered a different domain name.

Wiki exactly means "witch".

Can you show me where you found "wiki" means witch? Curious to follow up on that.. I'm aware of Wicca, but don't see that wiki has any connection.

Wiki exactly means "witch".

Did you read Amosba's post? The creator of the term "wiki" stating that it doesn't mean "witch" is a pretty huge hint. It is indeed named after a busline. Wikipedia is simply a mix of the word "wiki" and "encyclopedia" according to Wikipedia.org. It seems as though you've skipped the task of researching the history of Wikipedia and made the assumption that because the Old-English word "wiki" means "wicca", then "wikipedia" must mean "wicca (or witch) encyclopedia".

Even if the term "wiki" was derived from the word "wicca", you've registered witchpedia.com instead of wiccapedia.com (taken), wiccapaedia.com, or witchapedia.com which sound more like wikipedia.com and are better domains in general. Most importantly, the "wiki" part of "wikipedia" is a VERY uncommon word (even in the alternate universe where the name comes from the term "wicca"), so naming a similar site Witchpedia.com would be like naming an email site HobbyWorld.com since everyone who speaks English knows what "witch" means. It would be better to brand the site as "fickipedia" or "jikipedia" or even "sociopedia" to avoid TM issues (if there are any).

Furthermore, assuming a site that's developed will fetch $4000 or better is not an assumption based on experience. Websites don't go for that much unless they are making at least a few hundred a month in revenue and/or have massive (plus stable) traffic and/or have a premium domain name associated with the content.

Based on your choice of domain with development as a Wiki content site and not a witchcraft based site, I'd appraise it at $100-200 max because whoever bought it from you would move the wiki content to another domain and either let witchpedia.com expire, sell it, or fill it with more appropriate content.

Of course, this is just :imho:

I would have to strongly agree with the above posts. Wiki does not equal witch to me, or anyone else who has read this thread. I doubt anyone would make that connection.

On a brighter note. Witchpedia.com would be a great name for a resource site about witchcraft. If it was my name and I was going to develope it that would be the direction I would go with it. I think it would be a great name for such a site actually.
