[edit] Request for XML data base dump or other possible collaboration.
Hi Riggwelter, I am creating an new home exchange website and would be most interested in using the wikitravel database for the benefit of our members. If it is possible to collaborate it could a real benefit to wikitravel users as well as our home exchange site. I have outlined how it would benefit and what we are proposing on my user page here: User:Calverley Could you take a look at it and pass it on to the appropriate people. I would like to know what is possible. I have also sent this note to Evan's user page. Thanks for you help ,Grant Calverley
- Hi Grant! I suggest that you also talk to the owners of WIkitravel, Internet Brands. Riggwelter 07:47, 16 February 2008 (EST)
[edit] image licenses
Hi Riggwelter! I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the outcome of the licensing discussions we had here recently... the consensus pretty much was that we are not going to delete any images that are unlicensed, since special:upload has always stated that images are ccbysa 1.0 by default if nothing else is selected. We should still encourage people to select licenses, but their images won't be deleted if they don't... thanks! – cacahuate talk 18:44, 12 May 2008 (EDT)
- Hi! Yes, I have asked myself (at least since I worked on the text on the upload page... which I think I did ages ago) why we delete images based on that very reason... i e that they do not tag them with a valid license. So, it's good to have it settled. Riggwelter 09:30, 17 May 2008 (EDT)
- Hi again! The issue was coming up during some mass vfd'ing by a couple of users, they were vfding images without licenses and images that are ccbysa 2.0 or 3.0, etc... there's an archive of some of the discussion at [1] (and scroll down for a few more sections on that page too), though I think that there was discussion going on in the shared vfd page too, but I'm too lazy to search further at the moment... it turned into quite a heated debate unfortunately. But consensus seems to be that no license selected has always meant that it defaults to 1.0, same as text... and that bysa >1.0 are likely compatible, or at least not yet proven to be incompatible. So we've been allowing all to stay, and closing vfd's on either of those as "keeps". :) – cacahuate talk 20:22, 17 May 2008 (EDT)
