Summary

Wiki2Buy is a project created by BuscaPé Inc. Its goal is to create a relevant shopping guide about any product which is offered in the market and it is created by registered users.

All the published information in Wiki2Buy will automatically be available in all the internet and BuscaPé will be able to use its contents in other network products.

Publishing in Wiki2Buy and public information

Only visiting an internet page does not public your identity.

When you edit any Wiki2Buy page you are publishing a document. This is public and you will be publicly identified as the creator of that edition.

A creator identification

For you to have a page published in Wiki2Buy you will need a login.

When you are registered you will be idetntified by your user name. This can be your real name or a nickname but it will always be the same name you selected when you created your account.

And if you haven’t created a login you will be identified by your IP network address. This is a four number serial that identifies the Internet address you are using to conect to Wiki. Depending on your connection, this number will be registered to a big internet services provider or just to your school, business or home. It may be possible the IP origin may be used for different interests that shows implicitly or explicitly even for private users.

It can be very useful or very easy for a user who is motivated to conect his IP network address to his real life. But if you are worried about your privacy you can login and publish your information using a nickname. When you use a nickname your IP address will not be available to the public except in extremely cases as vandalism in a Wiki2Buy page created by you or any other user who hás the same IP addressyou’re your Ip address will be filed in Wiki2Buy provider and it might be seen by those who manage the Wikimedia providers.

If you use your company messages provider and a DSL or cable connection, it may be very easy to the employee to identify your IP address and find all the information you inserted in Wiki2Buy based on that IP. To use a real name is the best way to keep your privacy in this kind of situation. Besides, remember to logout after using a nickname so you avoid other people to use your identity.

Users information

The users information like how many times they edited the guides, are public; they can be checked by accessing the “users contributions” page and sometimes by other ways published by other users together.

Users accounts cancellation

Once they are created they cannot be cancelled. It is possible to change the users name.

Contents elimination

A cancelled text in Wiki2buy does not eliminate forever. In regular articles any one can check the older versions and see who waas in there. If an article is cancelled, only a Wiki – consumer will be able to definetely eliminate the Wiki2Buy articles.
