Whether that would be more appropriate to Wikipedia or Wikibooks is a matter for conjecture. I am still having difficulty figuring out where exactly Wikibooks is supposed to mesh with Wikipedia in the grand Wikimedia scheme...to read some of the discussions there, it would seem that they don't think any kind of "meshing" suitable at all, which seems ridiculous to me... -- Phil -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/AfD-on-unencyclopedic-content-t1563690.html#a4248701 Sent from the English Wikipedia forum at Nabble.com.

There is no NPOV or verifiability policy, and it can be about anything. When you click edit you get this message (which presumably summarizes the most important aspects of Wikibooks policy): "Please note that all contributions to Wikibooks are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation Licence (see Wikibooks:Copyrights for details). If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then don't submit it here. You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!" Apparently it's the place for fringe people to go that want to publish the memoirs and photos of their toenail clipping or a book on why having 50 million micro-policies with lots of inherent ambiguity, a team of lawyers, a team of advocates, and 10 internal courts is better than 3 well-defined major policies with limited ambiguity that can be implemented entirely by volunteers.~~~~Pro-Lick --------------------------------- Get amazing travel prices for air and hotel in one click on Yahoo!
