==Research== [[Research Wiki]] will have an English interface but research in all relevant languages is conducted there in a similar manner as at [http://wikibooks.org Wikibooks]. Research wiki will be [[troll-friendly]] ie. it allows [[trolling]] by [[troll]][[trolls|(s)]] and is not accessible to external search engines to minimize the possibility of legal challenges such as [[libel]] accusations and to enable [[free circulation of fiction]]. This development wiki has caused some aggravation in [[Wikimedia]] circles due to the numerous [[AWR|Anti Wikipedia Rants]] and we hope to avoid such confrontation in the future. Currently [[research]] is dispersed to multiple sites such as [[Wikipedia]] for generic, encyclopedic information, [[CorpKnowPedia]] for information on corporations and [[Wiktionary]] for translation needs. This is not a problem since all points of research are licensed under [[GFDL]] Note: there is no [[ontological distinction]] between research and opinion: research is the opinion of a researcher. And anyone can be a "researcher". Thus, opinions are indistinguishable from other forms of research - except that one could say "facts are research, and analysis is opinion." There's some question of what to do with [[Critical Point of View]] articles that don't even pretend to be [[NPOV|neutral]]. These are part of "research" but must be clearly marked - maybe awaiting [[answer recommendation]] filters? They are often drawn from outside text, maybe via [[corpus import]], e.g.[[campaign]]s for and against some entity: [[company]], [[product group]], [[product|individual product]], [[area]] ([[country]], [[ecoregion]]. They may be a piece of [[advertising]] which is clearly promotional. Separating them is unwise. An opinion starts as the lowest-credibility form of research, undergoes [[TIPAESA]] debate, and those who provide it will often be engaged with the [[Lowest Troll]] to determine if the authors or transmitters or republishers are [[funded troll]]s being paid to trash or promote some commercial service. But no one will volunteer to separate "research" from "opinion" and to do so simply creates unaccountable [[sysop power structure]]. ----
