FYI, proposal for a new Wikimedia project or Wikibooks/Wikisource inclusion criteria ---------- Mensagem encaminhada ---------- De: "Mathieu Stumpf" psychoslave@culture-libre.org Data: 27/11/2012 14:37 Assunto: [Wikimedia-l] Creating Wikikultur Para: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Hello, I just added this proposition : http://meta.wikimedia.org/** wiki/Wikikultur http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikultur

Here is the summary : Currently there are still some digital works which can not be published on a wikimedia projects, because none of them have the right editorial guideline to host them. Things like original poetry, songs, essays, theses, novels, etc., wether they were already previously published or not.

It would be great to see wikimedia launch a project to host this kind of works.

The no original research for wikipedia is understable and very important of course. Now what's relevant for an encyclopedia may not fit others projects which need different editorial guidelines. In existing projects Wikibooks is too pedagogic works oriented, and wikisource won't accept works which were not previously published elsewhere.

Moreover, one may argue that it would be a good way to softly evacuate originals works from wikipedia, with a message like "your contribution contains original claims, wikipedia is not the place to publish this kind of content, but you could share your original work on wikikultur". Then eventualy, the wikipedia article could use wikikultur arcticles as references. This would give access to authoring information (eventually anonymous/IP claims), and all avantages of a free/libre work on a wiki. For example, we may have statistics on articles, so we can check if it's not used as a reference of an over represented point of view in an wikipedia article.

On artistics topics, I think it would really help to boost the free-libre culture movement to have a place where every artists can directly experiment what it means to share and build together, with an audience intertwinned with other mediawiki projects.

----

It looks like other proposed projects would be included in such a project, like Wikiessay (I just discovered and I'm gonna read others projects description, sorry), but others aspect don't seem - at first glance - to be covered, like artistics topics.

Kind regards, mathieu
