I agree with Russell's statement below since that is just what is required when someone does publish in a journal and it could alleviate many headaches for CZ.
I think the policy (on original research) should be that any such items must be the original
research of the author or editor him/herself, and that by including
them the writer affirms that she/he has all needed permissions, and
that the material does not compromise any current research of other
parties. (Russell)
With identifiable authors this should work.
I also agree with the messages from Jon and David that attempting to separate fact from interpretation is a bit pointless since any article or statement is written from the author's (or editor's) point of view. Keeping CZ open and allowing variation with verifiability should be the goal. That gives everyone the chance to contribute in the way that works best for them while providing a solid resource for users. Susan
