www.aboutus.org is a wiki that has the ambition of having a page about each domain in existence. I see all my domains there. The problem is that even all my vanity and misspellings domains are there. They are properly redirected to the correct domains using 301 redirect... but could it harm me that www.aboutus.org are linking to them and are showing them as regular domains?
Also, I wonder what methods do they have in place to prevent vandalism. I have been able to edit some of my own domains without even logging in. That is very good. But I could equally well edit my competitors' websites. Not necessarily as an obvious vandalism, but with various false mentions, information etc.
It does not seem that there is an opt-out possibility for aboutus.org. You can seemingly only decide whether you want your site's information to be bot gathered or not. You cannot, it would seem, request for your site / domain not to be listed at all.

You can request it ... but they take no notice.
Equally, you can place a large notice saying that they are publishing without your permission.
But the best policy, probably, is simply to remove anything 'wrong' or hurtful, and remember that no-one except the occasional webmaster ever visits, so they really don't matter.
Best not to encourage them by promoting them on forums
