Pilot to allow Citizens to take credit for pages

Summary: By popular demand, we would, to a limited extent, allow Citizens to take authorship credit of articles. This would (for now) take the form of a template placed at the bottom of the page, which would, in small and unobtrusive print, list the contributors to an article in alphabetical order. Contributors would add themselves. Names would appear only if there were three five names in the list. To avoid issues about what counts as an "important" edit, a person could take co-authorship credit for the very smallest of edits (e.g., removing commas) adding at least two sentences. We would try this out in just one or two workgroups (the template would be removed from articles in any other workgroup). Original proposer: Larry Sanger 22:08, 12 February 2008 (CST) Next step: Submit to Editorial Council after new Council is empanelled Driver: Larry Sanger To be done by: April 3
