Vishal, there is still no sample available :-(

Hello,

Well, I am annoyed to say so, but I really would like that OurMed does not turn to be a huge copyright violation of Wikipedia. And articles such as Parkinson's disease are exactly that.

Wikipedia content is not free to use without any obligation. The content is under the GFDL and any derivatives (and naturally any copy) of the content must be under the GFDL. So, first point is that ourmed is apparently not under GFDL, but under CC BY SA. We are many to hope that one day GFDL and CCBYSA become compatible, but fact is, right now, it is not the case. You simply can not take Wikipedia content and relicence it under CC BY SA. The issue has been discussed with Stan in the past and I thought it was understood that relicencing was not okay. A middle solution is to put all content under dual licencing. That's not perfect at all, but that's the best we can reasonably do.

Second, the GFDL requires as well that the authors or the source be mentionned. Again, the Parkinson's disease do not mention the source is Wikipedia, nor put a link to the list of authors. Since this place is a wiki, the easiest way to do that is simply to recognise at the bottom of the page that this article comes from Wikipedia and add a link to the history of the article on Wikipedia.

See as well. When an image is uploaded, it should absolutely contain at a minimum the author, the source and the licence. Best is also to keep the description.

Putting reference to an article
What is the best way to put reference to an article and what will be the steps?

Because when we copy content from wikipedia it asks for templates that is designed by wikipedia and we dont have them with us.

Any suggestions?

From G Miller
Hello T1--I'd like to know who you are. my name is Greg Miller (user Gmiller) and I work with Stan in the OurMed office in New York.

I wanted to thank you personally for all the support you've provided OurMed, particulary with the design changes and administering the wiki.

It would be helpful if you had a description of your bio here and possibly your contact information.

My email is Greg(dot]Miller[at)OurMed{dot)Org  Feel free to write anytime.

One question I do have is how to delete "empty articles". It seems that there have been a lot of spam on the site recently that has created these. The potential donors that I'm soliciting might see these articles and think that the mission/content is not worthy of contributing.

Thanks again and Happy New Year,

Greg

Human Papilomavirus article
I reverted your deletion of the talk page for that article. I suspect you thought you were doing a service, as the page may have looked at first glance as another spam page. It was this warning which seems to have scared off the spammers. GMiller and I agree that we should leave this for a while. If we get an article on this subject, THEN we'll protect it and delete the warning.

to be fair, I find the idea of spammers being scared of by a warning, slightly amusing :) Anthere1 00:20, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
