Ive looked at some of the material on Disinfopedia, and think most of it too valuable to leave to it alone. I would encourage at some point an integration of those date to Wikipedia-- as much of it is encyclopedic.
The only failing of Disinfo that I can see so far (besides the fact that "Disinfo" doesnt bring up DisP on a Google search) is its disconnection from Wikipedia, and the division of energy that it represents.
Sorry for not answering this sooner. I'm rather busy these days, so I haven't been reading all my email. I'm not opposed in principle to merging the Disinfopedia into Wikipedia, but I'd like to see what other Wikipedians think of the idea.
Not to mention NPOV -- that the occasional crass comment actually hurts the legitimacy of the DisP as a source.
Point taken. The Disinfopedia is still very young, and hasn't yet achieved the maturity of the Wikipedia.
Respectforking yours,
Har har. Technically, though, I don't think the Disinfopedia is a fork.
