Copyediting needed - imported from Wikipedia

This page is being imported from Wikipedia, to create an Appropedia stub. These steps need to be completed:

  1. Add an {{attrib wikipedia}} template, in the form {{attrib wikipedia|PAGENAME OF WIKIPEDIA SOURCE PAGE}}
  2. Sections not relevant to Appropedia can be deleted, or trimmed to a brief comment. Note: Image redlinks should not be removed
  3. Redlinks to articles unlikely to be created on Appropedia can be unlinked. (Leave links to locations and institutions.) When these first two tasks are basically done, you can remove this template (leaving the Wikipedia attribution template which should be at the bottom).
  4. Categories may need to be adapted or removed - e.g. "people born in the 1940s". Redlinked categories are not a problem.
  5. These tasks may be completed by a bot:
    1. Templates not used on Appropedia should be deleted. (List these templates here.)
    2. Add a section "interwiki links" and a link to the original Wikipedia article.

More details of the process. Pages with this template.

If an additional comment was left it will appear here: :{{{1}}}

The original article was at [[Wikipedia:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]. The list of authors can be seen in the history for that page. The text of Wikipedia is available under the GFDL.




Contents

[edit] How to use

To use this template, type {{copyedit from wikipedia|page name}} at the bottom of the article or section where the content is used. "Page name" should be the title of the Wikipedia article.

This will sometimes be added by bot, after the import process of articles from Wikipedia.

The page is automatically added to Category:Articles in need of copyediting.

[edit] Why to use

Wikipedia is under the GFDL license, which allows reuse but requires attribution.

This template adds the __NOINDEX__ tag to the article where it is placed.

[edit] When to use Wikipedia content

It can be helpful to use Wikipedia content in Appropedia pages, for definitions and subtopics that are relevant to Appropedia. However, it is generally not appropriate to copy entire Wikipedia articles into Appropedia, because Appropedia is different from Wikipedia.

[edit] Unresolved issues

I can't work out exactly how urlencode is meant to work in the Wikipedia template this is taken from. The FULLPAGENAMEE used as a second parameter seems to do nothing, so I have replaced {{urlencode:{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}} with {{urlencode:{{{1}} for simplicity. --Chriswaterguy 18:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Question: do we want to include a link to the specific version? This makes it clearer where the content comes from, and will still work when pages are merged or split. On the downside, this will make it too technical for the average user, so how can we make it optional? (parser functions, when we get that extension?)

  • I've been thinking about this same issue and would ideally see a "triple-linke" to the source. Whatever the form, for e.g. Sustainable development I'd essentially like to have something along the lines of
"This article is based on the Wikipedia article Sustainable development, accessed on March 24, 2009 [1], licensed under GFDL license"
From what I've gathered (from the WP community survey) the crediting will be ok to be "only" Wikipedia community or even (hopefully) "merely" a notion that the article is from Wikipedia - but we'll know more in just a few weeks/months. .. As we will about the licensing issue, of course.
Just my 2 cents. --Jaakkoh 02:23, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
