Wikipedia exercises an amount of control over content that is determined by the Group of administrators and the arbitration board. At times that control is Minimal; at time the control is quite severe. It appears that the main factor In determining when the control is exercised is the contentiousness of the content. Articles that are important to a sufficient number of active people with a variety Of points of view, result in vigorous editting of those articles. At some point, The admins step in and lock the page. Further vigor, after the lock is removed, Results in the arbitration board determining which editors will be prohibited, thereby Defining the remaining editors' point of view as the Wikipedia "Neutral Point of View".
It's a process. For the purposes of Jabber clients, the level of contentiousness should be rather low. The policy is subject to change...no guarantees with regard to the future ;) Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hal Rottenberg Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 9:02 AM To: Jabber software development list Subject: Re: [jdev] jabber.org software listings On 11/22/06, Lucas Nussbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If we want to move to Wikipedia, we should really get a statement from > a Wikipedia responsible person saying: "yes, it's OK".

Wikipedia has no control over the content, that's the whole point. -- Psi webmaster (http://psi-im.org) im:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://halr9000.com
