Wine Wiki needs your help!

Hi guys,

I've cleanup the deleted pages, were down to about 740 pages,
mostly good stuff:

https://docs.google.com/a/lattica.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmY-Kp_Ihu3idFNEOUt0UkVGUko4elhkOHVoaWx2OWc#gid=5

Please check it out, lemme know if any spam is still left standing.

Any ideas on how we can attack the spam users?

Dimi.
