Lumeniki may be the only wiki with these qualities: | |||

* Copysate license. This avoids many of the totalitarian requirements of default intellectual property rights but entitles developers to a royalty on any '''profits''' made by anyone else, using their work.

* [http://lumeniki.referata.com/wiki/LumenikiLu_policies Lumeniki's policies] are not completely decided but Lumenos sees a number of ways to improve on Wikipedia's policies. | |||
Wikipedia does not officially | * Wikipedia does not officially consider content to be notable or reliable if it is "original research" or information from self-published sources. I think this creates a bias towards commercial content and runs contrary to the very thing that makes Wikipedia good; that it has info that is timely and less censored, than what is usually found in encyclopedias that are supposed to highly accurate. I think self-publishing is the future of publishing and we need ways to evaluate self-published sources rather than excluding them completely. | ||
** For reliablity Lumeniki instead aims to use the articles to evaluate sources and to evaluate Lumeniki's own editors. | |||
** For notablity Lumeniki suggests a more consensus based approach to establish notability. Some think Wikipedia claims to be about consensus, but this is only consensus as to what "reliable" sources claim. | |||
