CZ Talk:Reusing Citizendium Content
This page was first created and discussed in this forum thread. --Warren Schudy 09:02, 4 January 2008 (CST)
Notes
Removed "approximately 15% of its total corpus." This number is likely to change, and whatever we write should be extensible. (I thought it was much higher, besides.)
"While anyone anywhere may reuse CC-by-sa and GFDL texts, within certain conditions, the two may not be intermixed...yet." This is just false. (We intermix them.)
The Q&A format is a bit constraining...
If you're going to make a {{cz}} template for the use of reusers, please rename it (and delete {{cz}}) to {{cz-gfdl}}, and then also create a similar {{}} template.
This whole article should actually live at CZ:Reusing Citizendium Content and should not be titled so that it specifically concerns Wikipedia. --Larry Sanger 08:54, 5 January 2008 (CST)
Purpose of page?
Now that I've included text from the license essay on CZ:License (I asked someone to do this and thought it was already done, but apparently not), my question to those of you working on this page is: what exactly is the purpose of this page? Is it an "instruction page" that just necessarily repeats and overlaps with the official license information page? --Larry Sanger 09:22, 5 January 2008 (CST)
I'm just going to consider it an instructional page. A little bit of overlap is OK, I guess. --Larry Sanger 09:44, 5 January 2008 (CST)
More notes
"We require this sort of attribution because we all contribute with our real names and have experts on board with real-life reputations to maintain." Interesting claim, but I've removed it. I've never heard of such a thing before. I don't see how attributing content to CZ either supports or undermines the real-life reputations of our editors. In any case, no one has ever offered that as a reason for the "by" part of CC-by-sa; it was quite simply taken for granted, as far as I recall. So the claim ("...because...") is strictly speaking false! --Larry Sanger 09:44, 5 January 2008 (CST)
