<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[wikis]] need different policies for [[undelete page]]s, at least, and coming up with one policy to deal with that for all of them is probably impossible since they have different [[liability]]. So it is liability that is going to define which wikis and how many exist.<br /> <br /> Since geographical area is one of the factors in liability (what is against the law to say where) but also influences other factors (like [[wireless network]] coverage we can use) it is difficult to disentangle.<br /> <br /> There are few problems with &#039;&#039;&#039;language versus liability&#039;&#039;&#039;, the choices are fairly obvious:<br /> *[[liability]] is presumably the same in every language but the likelihood of being subjected to scrutiny or complaint is different - disparaging comments about [[Monsanto]] in [[English]] in the [[US]] are going to be more noticed than the same comments in [[Arabic]] in the same country<br /> *each language needs its own [[sysop power structure]] at least in [[Publish Wiki]] to deal with [[vocabulary]] - it doesn&#039;t matter so much except near the point where a [[Consumerium buying signal]] is about to be released<br /> *liability varies per [[faction]] - an offended faction that has [[funded troll]]s is more likely to be able to launch a [[libel suit]] if the [[trolls]] and [[troll vandalism]] don&#039;t succesfully hide the information; one that has no money and no lawyers in different countries can&#039;t do that; according it is [[transnational corporation]]s that are most dangerous to offend, and this creates [[systemic bias]] in editorial function.<br /> <br /> [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] has to balance these choices.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;See [[language vs. area]] for an older version of this debate.&#039;&#039;</div>
