The [[GFDL]] does not actually require any such markings, nor should it (they would complicate combining the various sources, among other things, and make some user interfaces to the [[GFDL text corpus]] appear to be more important than others). However, they should be included where it is desirable that the reader add more information via another [[web service]]. Try to include links to those articles at those other services if a typical reader would likely have details or updates more relevant to them than to [[Consumerium Services]]. For instance, rather than get into the details of a misleading PR campaign here, it would be better to put that in [[Disinfopedia]]. And rather than allow some overly lengthy description of any one group or its good work, put that in [[Wikinfo]]. And if it's from a [[faction]] that is seeking something other than [[moral purchasing]], [[Recyclopedia]] will probably be more interested. | |||
