Lumeniki: Difference between revisions

* Freaks are welcome. You can be "out of the closet" at Lumeniki. Yes you. Join the costume party and be whoevar you please.

* Conflict resolution policies: Lumenos sees policy purely as a means to resolve conflict, therefore the policies are built to respond to the desires of the current users. Lumenos has made a [[WikiIndex:Policies and Guidelines|policy development page at WikiIndex]], which could be incorporated into Lumeniki, if there are other editors.

* Wikiforum: Editors can quote themselves (as Lumenos does in this article) and ask questions in articles. You don't have to pretend to be the omniscient Wizard of Oz; you can mention something that is noteworthy without presenting it as certainty. You represent yourself not the wiki.

* Copysate license: This avoids many of the totalitarian requirements of default intellectual property rights, but entitles developers to a "royalty" (not necessarily money) on any '''profits''' made by anyone else, using their work. ("[[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]]: Some wikis may allow custom licenses for articles. <del>Wikinfo might. I might move some or all the content there</del>." (I'm less of a "fan" of Wikinfo now that I have read a little part of it and realize it does not allow criticism (or debate) regarding certain ideas such as abortion.)

* [http://lumeniki.referata.com/wiki/LumenikiLu_policies Lumeniki's inclusion policies] are not completely decided but Lumenos sees a number of ways to improve on Wikipedia's policies. Wikipedia does not officially consider content to be notable or reliable if it is "original research" or information from self-published sources. "[[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]]: 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 'published' sources that are supposed to be highly accurate. With the rise of the Internet, self-publishing is the future of publishing and we need ways to evaluate self-published sources rather than excluding them completely."

** For reliability Lumeniki instead aims to use the articles to evaluate sources and to evaluate wiki editors (editors of Lumeniki or other wikis).

** For notability 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. "[[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]]: Editors can do what they want for a while but I've seen some interesting content deleted from Wikipedia."
