I'd like to simplify it as this : 1. I just want to add major authors' names under each article, it is an option for authors. 2. give the authors' option to get direct donation from their readers. Both of them are optional. Nothing more and nothing less. Isn't it better to give more choices to authors of articles? I guess you are one of those persons who don't need any external reward to do excellent wiki work I already mentioned in this proposal. :-). However, would you feel even better if you could see the exciting rating number from readers about your work and their continuous attempt to donate some money to you? It is not late for you to choose refusing themt at that time. People sometimes are too confident about what they are doing and ignore other's feelings and what it is really good for . My current poposal is a typical example. I thought it is a terrific idea. But the responses to it till now are mostly negative. Therefore, I still think it is good to to let authors and readers interact more by providing direct rating facilities . An attempt does not harm anybody I think. Personally, I would like to to see direct feedback from readers of my articles. Just like I know my proposal got a 2 out of 5 :( Anyway, thank you very much for your response in your valuable weekend time. I have the same confident in my this proposal as you do in your wiki editing. I will insist it. Best Regards.
