who runs / made kindlewiki.wikispaces.com

is it legit?

what is up with the security certificate warning when I try to go there on my kindle 2?

just want to make sure I'm not getting a kindle virus or anything.

who makes money on the advertising?

It is in no way connected to Amazon.

Amazon does all its own hosting. Wikispaces doesn't seem to be owned by Amazon.

If you click on the "Amazon Kindle Social Network" link, in the following sentence,

We have an Amazon Kindle Social Network and wanted to supplement it with a wiki that anyone can edit and that would function as a storehouse of information. The primary purpose is FAQ, Tips and Guides. However, feel free to add on whatever you like.

it takes you to
http://www.booksummit.com/

which is the webpage for

"Kindle Forum Kindle 2.0 Social Network"

which is another Kindle discussions forum.

So no, it has nothing to do with Amazon.
