There is one wiki directory that is making every attempt to be inclusive of as many entities and biographies as possible, without opening up the site to anonymous libel or vandalism.  That site is MyWikiBiz.com, which has set a goal of featuring 265 million pages of content about "non-notable" subjects; however, only registered users may edit the pages, and only the legal representative of an entity or person may have final, "lock down" control of an article about the legal entity.  This way, personally disparaging remarks never pollute an article; yet cooperative, community-based editing may still take place on subjects which aren't about legal entities (such as "carbon dioxide", "Christmas lights", or "heating oil").

MyWikiBiz is a new directory where you can author your legacy on the Internet. We think you are notable, even if Wikipedia has rejected an article about you or your enterprise as being "non-notable". With MyWikiBiz, you create a beautiful, reader-friendly page that will get picked up by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search engines, because it's built on an enhanced version of the same MediaWiki software architecture used by Wikipedia.
