It didn't take long for people to start screwing it
up though.
No-one's screwing anything up. I probably should have clarified this yesterday, but all that happened last night is that *all* the articles from ps.wikipedia were moved to sources.wikipedia. This was done to clean up what ought to be Pashto Wikipedia. The movement of them to sources did not involve any editorial decisions and it does not reflect a view that those articles should stay here. It was just easier to get them moved in one go. Later, when we have some policies there, we can decide what needs to be done with them. Most of them have not been edited since their move here, so they all need work, if not deletion.

Already somebody has moved in a number of lists that
properly belong on Wikipedia
It was decided at Wikipedia that raw data such as lists of postcodes were not encyclopedic, which is why they moved from Wikipedia to ps.wikipedia in the first place.
There are a number of things which need to be decided - [[Project Sourceberg:What Wikisource is not]] is probably a good place to start. We also need to decide whether to stick with the name Project Sourceberg, or to go with Wikisource (or WikiSource) or something else entirely. Also, Walter has asked at Wikisource whether the intention is for the site to be international. I was assuming it was and we already have articles in Latin, Polish, French and German, but that decision is another one which will need to be made.
