You can't delete pages, and people can still mess with your page: it should be locked to targeted underlying user. Also, there's no spreadsheet view, which makes it almost unusable to me: do you expect users to open 100+ tabs?
The wiki is about startups, but you sourced it from data about people. I am not a startup, I am a person.
Yes, you can delete and move/rename pages, but you need to create an account for that. This is supposed to prevent vandalism. Not sure why would you need a spreadsheet view. You can always use plain search. And than there is semantic search, which I plan to add soon. Having all that data in a structured database (every field/property in a page is query-able in a semantic mediawiki app).
About people vs. startups, you are right, they are no the same. I'm not sure what to call that entity that is something between an idea and a startup. If you create an account you can list your skills in the "Person form". There will be a search for that.
I just created this account (and one on startuplinkup) b/c while I didn't mind having my email on the Google Doc, I don't want it sitting on the wiki. According to the User group rights only Admins can delete. Care to help (Startup 155)?
Out of pure curiosity, as I'm sure all the startup folks are .. would you mind shedding some light into why you would be ok with your email on Google Docs but not a wiki?
Well, I know for a fact that my email on a traditional web site is going to be indexed and cached by search engines, internet archive, etc, while on the Google Doc, I'm a little fuzzier on how permenant and searchable my email address becomes.
In a nutshell, I wanted to avoid spam; from bots, not from users here.
If I had had this account the other day, I probably would have just added that.

Yes, I deleted startup155. A solution to this problem may be to enable the deletion of past revisions, I think there is an extension that allows that.
thanks

We're interested in learning.

"spreadsheet view" is there. Is just a simple semantic query: http://www.startuplinkup.com/en/Big_startup_matrix
