Today, I contacted David Darling, creator of the
Astrobiology
encyclopedia (
http://www.angelfire.com/on2/daviddarling) and asked him
about possible relations between our projects. Here is the reply I got.
IMHO the link he asks for is OK for new articles or major improvements
("This article based on [http:... this one, with permission]"). Thought
I'd ask the list first, though.
I personally wouldn't have a problem with it--many of the country articles state their
original sources (CIA/U.S. Dept of state website), as do many other articles--*but* he
should know that, as a wiki, we currently can't guarantee that the citation will
remain there permanently since anyone could remove it. So he'll have to decide if he
wants to go ahead with it or not. That is very generous of him to consider it, though.
