This is copy/paste of a statement I just wrote at the Editing Discussion<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Project:Editing_Discussion>of our SL Wiki:
Just a short heads-up that the Wikimedia foundation is currently having a vote amongst all registered users with more than 25 edits before mid March 2009, which is aimed to double license all Wikimedia content under GFDL and CC-BY-SA 3.0. This means we might soon be able to incorporate content from Wikipedia into this Wiki (e.g. templates, icons, ...). In case you got an account at any WikiMedia wiki which is allowed to vote, please consider to do so. Voting will end on May 3rd 2009. All infos about the update can be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Licensing_update. To vote, just log in with your account. The link is displayed for any logged in user at the top of any page (e.g. English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/vote/1 ). On a similar note: - Please consider voting at WEB-910<https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-910> [c] <http://www.sljirastats.com/WEB-910> for free use of KB<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/KB>content in the wiki. - Please consider to double license your SL wiki contributions (e.g. with Template:Re-license_contributions<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Template:Re-license_contributions>). *Libre knowledge! <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre_knowledge>* Greetz, <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Image:Zai_signature.png> *Lynch<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Zai_Lynch> * (talk <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User_talk:Zai_Lynch>|contribs<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Zai_Lynch> ) 23:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC) P.S.: In case Wikimedia succeedes with this, it might be worth trying to ask http://secondlife.wikia.com contributors to do the same. It's also GFDL content and therefor has the same loop hole. Would be especially great for History of Second Life <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/History_of_Second_Life>related articles. --<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Image:Zai_signature.png> *Lynch <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Zai_Lynch>* (talk<https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User_talk:Zai_Lynch> |contribs <https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Zai_Lynch> ) 23:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
