[Foundation-l] How to free something from Wikipedia in the public domain?

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to "officially" free Wikipedia content under PD/CC-0? What procedure should one follow to use that data on another website with an incompatible license? Assumptions: we are talking about a single version of the page with only one or just a few authors, and

Isn't the official site is http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu? Also, some chapters have their own. It's not a commercial event, so I don't think the participants run that .com site. My apologies, if I am wrong. 2011/8/26 billy joel > > > Til dine oplysninger: > www.wikilovesmonuments.com :-st > __

Sounds a little problematic depending on the details. If the text was released on Wikipedia first, then the contributors agreed "to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License".

Hi billy, thanks for your attention. Wiki Loves Monuments is being organized by several chapters in over 15 countries in Europe. The main page for that is indeed www.wikilovesmonuments.eu . The Wikimedia Foundation is not involved in organizing the events, nor is it responsible for its websites -

Re: [Foundation-l] How to free something from Wikipedia in the public domain?

I don't think the problem will be whether the contributors edited in accounts associated with their legal identities, I think the problem will be whether all the editors (or their heirs) are contactable. Much of the pedia has been written by IP editors. IPs may be edited by multiple people and by

Re: [Foundation-l] Board resolutions on controversial content and images of identifiable people

I think there are definitely some neutral criteria which might be applicable. And maybe there are some criteria which are harder to neutralize (yeah, i know - has a different meaning :) ) Take for example nudity. It should be possible to create a category "Images that show a vagina", "images that

If this should succeed I shall work as I do now, in other areas. I want to add content and keep out spam, not to dispute whether , for example, the "images that show a human penis" should include ones where the anatomical details are blurred, or only the outline visible. There is no point in dis
