I am working on uploading the GEMET data into Wiktionary. The GEMET data does specify who phrased the defention to a term (they are typically institutions). From a GNU-FDL point of view we need to attribute where this infomation came from.
There are three ways of doing this: *Upload them with a "GEMET" user so that the source is them and not me and have the source in there as text. *Upload them with a user depending of the institution that defined the term *Upload them with my own user, and have the source GEMET and the institution in text.
Personally I think the second one is the most correct. The consequence is however that many users will be created. Any other ideas ??
Thanks, GerardM

Back when I was a lot more active I have been entering all the chemical elements into the English Wiktionary. To give attribution to I made a reference to the source material in three places:
- the entry itself - the comment - the talk page of each of these entry pages
Maybe it was a bit overkill, but it was the most effective way I could think off. You are the one who is entering them, though, so you are the 'operator'. I wouldn't create another user. You deserve the credit of doing the work. It will also get pretty messy if you have to log in and out all the time, just to have the material submitted under the correct user account. I understand that this material is not only going to go into the nl Wiktionary, so that would mean you are going to be creating such users for each Wiktionary.

The original defining institution should be mentioned at the right place in whichever of the above options is chosen. They do need to understand that their definition will be editable in accordance with wiki custom.
