Already somebody has moved in a number of lists that properly belong on Wikipedia, an undocumented piece of quasi-Latin, and a purported questionnaire from Marcel Proust of uncertain copyright status. I think some people need to learn the meaning of "original source", as well as how to document what they put in. Ec

Brion wrote original-sources. Thank you Brion. Ec wrote 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. Ec wrote 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.

At http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_wor…, Fonzy made the suggestion to move the page to Wikisource and for nearly two months, no-one objected to that. That would appear to me to be a strong sign of consensus that the decision had been accepted, rather than a sign of anything inconclusive, and I fully support Patrick's decision to action Fonzy's suggestion. Following the movement of the material elsewhere, Martin redirected the page to ZIP code. The article was never removed from Wikipedia and I have temporarily reverted the redirect so the issue can be re-discussed at http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_postal_and_zip_codes_of_the_wor….
