This template is meant to standardize the way we deal with (not) crediting the content that appeared on Wikipedia pages and then is released by the same author on Citizendium.

Usage: {{WPauthor2|your Wikipedia username|the name of the article on Wikipedia, if different|your claim|~~~~}}. The use of the ~~~~ puts your signature and the date on the template.

The template is put on the relevant talk page immediately under the checklist, and above everything else.

If you do not specify 'your claim' a standard claim will be issued: I released this article to the Wikipedia. In particular, the identical text that appears there is of my authorship. Therefore, no credit for Wikipedia content on Citizendium applies.
