I read the license again, and determined that "The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing." That raises a number of concerns, actually, since there are a number of Wikipedia-adapted articles on Epistemia. I'll have to delete them, and restore them when Wikimedia relicenses. > What is that assertion based on? That studies I've seen have examined > quite a broad range of articles. What studies? I'm aware that Britannica did a study, but it was my understanding that they focused mainly on topics in the hard sciences. There may have been studies done that I was unaware of, though. On the other hand, a few glances at the many of the articles returned by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random shows that Wikipedia still needs much work, especially on topics which aren't particular popular. > Sure, but civility wasn't on your list. I guess I, confusingly, grouped it under "not responsible" :-). —Thomas Larsen _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
