Hi, I have a dispute with user Verdy_p on the sections "Importing geodata from Wikipedia" and "Importing geodata to Wikipedia" of the wiki page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaboration_with_Wikipedia and would like to get comments from other members of the OSM community because edit wars are a waste of time.
That's the state before I started editing yesterday: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Collaboration_with_Wikipedia&oldid=1515024 That's the state after my changes: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Collaboration_with_Wikipedia&oldid=1521333 I added two red warning Ambox templates to make clear that we do not copy data from Wikipedia (see Mateusz's posting on the legal situation of imports from Wikidata which is pretty similar https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2017-November/079492.html). In addition I shorted the section "Importing geodata to Wikipedia". I think that the section "Importing geodata to Wikipedia" is a mess and found it difficult to read. It contained lots of information which is not necessary for OSM. I think that the question if someone may copy data from OSM/Wikipedia/Wikidata to Wikipedia or Wikidata should not be discussed in the OSM wiki in full length. Instead, the wiki should link to a page at *.wikipedia.org or *.wikidata.org or the WMF wiki/website. If the opinion of the OSM Foundation differs, it should be mentioned or linked from the OSM wiki. Any further discussions whether two licenses are compatible and how relicensing of the content of Wikipedia works should be discussed outside the wiki (at a blog, mailinglist or personal website). It happened as I expected. Verdy_p restored the deleted sections. What is your opinion? Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
