Revision as of 21:23, 28 December 2010
As mentioned on the forums, I think the current phrasing of the motion PR-2010-013 of the Editorial Council is problematic. Since those who voted for the motion did not address my concerns, the best way to address these issues seems to be to submit an alternatively phrased motion and to see what support it can get in a formal vote of the council.
Feel free to edit this page, but please leave the "Original phrasing" section as it is.
Importation of articles
Original phrasing
The importation of articles copied from other sources, in particular from other Internet encylopedias such as Wikipedia, is not allowed.
The only exceptions to this general rule are
- articles written originally almost entirely by the Citizen who imports them and who, in addition, is also an active contributor, and
- specific articles that are explicitly accepted by the Editorial Council.
Remark:
Of course, any available source—including Wikipedia—may be used
in a professional manner to find information and inspiration.
Revised phrasing (1)
Articles originating from other sources are not allowed to be imported into Citizendium's main namespace without having been adapted to Citizendium's formatting and style, taking copyright and article quality into consideration.
Remark:
Existing External Articles that do not fit Citizendium's formatting and style by February 28, 2011, shall be deleted. Those that do fit them shall be reclassified according to the Article status scheme. Following that, the status External Article shall be deprecated.
Revised phrasing (2)
High-quality articles originating from suitably licensed sources can be imported into Citizendium. Placement in the main namespace requires that the formatting and style have been adapted to Citizendium's standards.
Remark 1:
Existing External Articles that do not fit Citizendium's formatting and style by February 28, 2011, shall be deleted. Those that do fit them shall be reclassified according to the Article status scheme. Following that, the status External Article shall be deprecated.
Remark 2:
As per existing policy, Editors always have the right to request deletion of low-quality content, and Constables have the right to delete entries that do not fit otherwise.
