Wine Wiki needs your help!

[Dimi Paun]

Hi folks,

Thanks for all the help and hits -- much appreciated.

I ended up writing a few scripts myself that cleaned up
both the pages and users. It should do for now.

Please let me know if you see any problems with the
wiki, I hope I wasn't over-eager when cleaning up spam :)))

Cheers,
Dimi.
