Hi Nellie, I'm just trying to understand this.
I read the piece by the students at http://wikieducator.org/Holocaust/Survivor_Support/Israel/Poverty. Whatever its merit, isn't the idea that folks can use material available on the WE pages provided they attribute source and authorship? If they did so correctly (which they claim they did), then I don't think you can validly protest against such use (but you can of course interact with those who seemingly misinterpret you, if that's the case, which I am not sure of). There may be an issue with the age of students who contribute to the WikiEducator pages. My sense is, if the students felt uncomfortable about their being republished they should have contacted Salem News themselves, rather than their teacher. My question, to the WE community, is: Should there be a policy (if there isn't yet) that people should be of legal age to contribute to WE and thus be expected to be held responsible for what they write? It's not a matter that I normally deal with, but I presume we can learn from WikiPedia.

Well, it was until I intervened and look where it got me. Warm wishes, Nellie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
