- icebraining 15y agoThe license plate wiki is interesting, but I fear the privacy implications. Sure, it may be legal, but it would still make me uneasy. I can see someone e.g. escaping their abusive spouse only to have their position given away online.
- nodata 15y agoOr people outright lying for revenge. Or bad drivers blaming other people.
- evilswan 15y agoWouldn't the wiki-community-spirit help prevent this kind of thing? Guess not, it'd be one person vs another.
- icebraining 15y agoThis would only work if people were also incentivized to post good stuff about you; for example on Ebay, even if you have a dick downvoting you unjustly, the amount of good feedback will probably make it up. But here, there's none of that.

- evilswan 15y agoVery nice - though some of the content integration mentioned would be a nice option.
- beaumartinez 15y ago> *A wiki-powered site where vehicle registration plates are the subdomains, for example, HY10AGV.carwiki.whatever. Make sure the subdomains explicitly include the country somewhere too—HY10AGV.us.carwiki.whatever.
- rachelbythebay 15y agoAt least for the US, you'd need a state separator as well, since otherwise you will have collisions. Or is that the point?
- evilswan 15y agoAre identical plates duplicated across states - if so, then yep, a state too! (us-ca, us-ny, etc would work)
- syedkarim 15y agoThis is a solid idea. An open version of Carfax/AutoCheck. And kind of like the way that Redfin keeps track of historical pricing information on real estate. Platewire is somewhat related (http://platewire.com/ http://platewire.com/), but focuses on the driver instead of the vehicle.
