The term 'city wiki' or its foreign language equivalent  is sometimes also used for  that cover not just a city, but a small town or an entire region. A city  contains information about specific instances of things, ideas, people and places. Much of this information might not be appropriate for Wikipedia (e.g., articles on every retail outlet in a town), but might be appropriate for a wiki with more localized content and viewers. A city wiki could also contain information about the following subjects, that may or may not be appropriate for a general knowledge wiki, such as:

Details of public establishments such as public houses, bars, accommodation or social centers.

Owner name, opening hours and statistics for a specific shop.

Statistical information about a specific road in a city.

A biography of a local mayor and other persons

Most of them are for cities in England. Although Cityultima, formerly Cityunlimited was founded in February 2007. The Stadtwiki Karlsruhe is the largest city .

Malta flights cancelled

Malta flights cancelled, delayed because of European weather

Profile Facts-A number of flights to and from Malta were cancelled or delayed today because of the extreme weather conditions in Europe.

The first flight cancelled was the Airmalta/Lufthansa morning flight to and from Frankfurt, Germany.

Ryanair's to and from Pisa, Italy was initially delayed but it was then eventually cancelled. This was followed by Easyjet's flights to and from Gatwick and Manchester.

Also delayed are the Air Malta/BMI flights to and from Heathrow and Gatwick and the Malta/Lufthansa flight to and from Frankfurt.

In Spain, air traffic controllers staged a mass 'sick day' in protest over austerity measures but as military controllers took over emergency services, the government invoked special emergency powers and warned that the controllers' action threatened national security.

"If the situation doesn't normalise, the government will declare a state of alert," Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Rubalcaba told an emergency cabinet meeting.

"The controllers will be mobilised and if they don't get back to work, their cases will be passed immediately to the judiciary and they will be accused of a crime which could mean a prison sentence."

The Spanish army took over air control towers on Friday after unofficial strike action by controllers grounded planes and disrupted travel for around 250,000 people on one of Spain's busiest holiday weekends.

If enough controllers do not show up for work Saturday to restore normal flight operations, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero affirmed that he intended to declare a national emergency that would force them to do so, Rubalcaba said.

No-show controllers will face unspecified criminal charges punishable by "serious prison time," he said.

By Saturday afternoon, as many as two-thirds of air controllers were back at work but officials in various Spanish airports said the damage had been done and it would take at least a day before normal air services can resume.

Qantas flights from Heathrow:Weather delays

Qantas has confirmed that four Australian-bound flights due to depart from London's Heathrow airport today have been delayed due to the severe weather in Europe.

The flights are bound for Sydney and Melbourne.

Freezing temperatures and record snowfalls have closed roads and other smaller airports, including Gatwick, and led to significant delays at Heathrow.

A Qantas spokesman says the flights have not been cancelled, but it is not known when they can be rescheduled for departure.
