Oh, where should we start:

1. No license or copyright policy.
2. All admins have IP lookup/checkuser capability.
3. People automatically becoming admins without community vote (which complicates #2 even more).
4. Articles lacking proper citations.

I'm sure I'll come up with more... --Seven of nine 06:54, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Sysops being able to look at users IP is something that I will try to get RobKohr to fix. It is a problem. People will not become sysops automatically any more. We just needed sysops so the system would work. Our articles do have citation, we will work on making it more clear. Also we are under a license, we have been for a while. --Sir James Paul 07:49, 5 February 2007 (EST)

And where is that license indicated? As I noted at Talk:Main Page, you need to publish and make explicit the license and copyright policy (and probably on each article, like in Wikipedia). You just saying it doesn't make it legal. --Seven of nine 07:55, 5 February 2007 (EST)

And you don't seem to understand the whole editthis thing. You don't understand editthis has a whole website for itself that says it copyright for all of the wiki's it holds. ForestH2 08:35, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Not surprisingly, you don't know what you're talking about. Read their Terms of Use, which state in part:

EditThis.info claims no ownership or control over any Content submitted, posted or displayed by you on or through EditThis.info services. You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any Content you submit, post or display on or through EditThis.info services and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate.

Each site must maintain its own license and copyright policy. --Seven of nine 08:45, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Although I would normally not say this in the middle of a conflict, shut up you two. I don't mean that in a mean way, but just quit it. Forest, Seven of nine, we all know you hate each other and I'm sure you'd love each other to have some horrible accident that prevents them from editing here permanently, but you're not doing any good by exchanging insults at every possible opportunity. You're just giving me a headache, and yourselves a lot of stress. Sites should set their own licenses for content, but with the permission of all affected contributors, content can be distributed under any other license without restriction. For example, the site may be GFDL, but if you asked everyone in the history and they agreed for it to be placed on a site with a non-compatible license, it's fine. Archer7 10:26, 5 February 2007 (EST)
