Not really. Comixpedia has different policies to
wikipedia. Even if
you wanted to you could not reasonably stop that. I'm involved with
scepticWiki no sane change to wikipedia policy could prevent that from
being seperate.
You keep ignoring the point: Comixpedia wouldn't *exist* except it was
a community forking from Wikipedia.
That it has different policies came *after* the fact of the community
fork, and the reasons for the fork. Don't get your timeline mixed up
here.
