Hi Thomas,
You had better read the new GFDL license again - only Wikimedia can relicence content on Wikimedia projects (that was the purpose of the deadline that passed 2 days before the license was published). You'll have to wait. My question was what you plan to do if Wikipedia does switch.
I read the license again, and determined that "The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing."
That raises a number of concerns, actually, since there are a number of Wikipedia-adapted articles on Epistemia. I'll have to delete them, and restore them when Wikimedia relicenses.
What is that assertion based on? That studies I've seen have examined quite a broad range of articles.
What studies? I'm aware that Britannica did a study, but it was my understanding that they focused mainly on topics in the hard sciences. There may have been studies done that I was unaware of, though.
On the other hand, a few glances at the many of the articles returned by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random shows that Wikipedia still needs much work, especially on topics which aren't particular popular.
Sure, but civility wasn't on your list.
I guess I, confusingly, grouped it under "not responsible" :-).
