WP content dumps
Before you add more content dumps from Wikipedia, please note that we do not share licenses with Wikipedia. They are incompatible, and as such we can't accept a simple content copy. Sorry... Thanks, however, for making us aware of the fact that articles are being deleted over there. -- Cid Highwind 19:33, January 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the first time I have seen Star Trek content being deleted at Articles for Deletion (AfD), and it used to be stuff like World of Greyhawk all the time. I guess they ran out. WP policy is heavily weighted towards deletion, with scads of rules to remove content that are taken by AfDers as pertinent to and therefore sufficient to remove entire articles, only one or two rules for retaining content, double jeopardy as a basic policy (articles can be renominated fD indefinitely).
 * If and only if you get bored sometime or otherwise have time on your hands, explain the difference between 2.5 and 3.0 to me :) The descriptive pages for them have identical text, as far as I can tell. Until then I, by nature a skeptic, will in any case just take your word for it as you are a person who has to know these things. VvAnarchangelvV 19:50, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

The difference is not the version, but the fact that Wikipedia uses the "share-alike" variant of the CC license, while we use the "non-commercial" variant. Our content can't be used on Wikipedia, because the license there would allow for commercial use - and the other way around, WP content can't be used here because it's not "shared alike" :) -- Cid Highwind 19:58, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
