    Technical solutions and information sources useful to Consumerium[edit | edit source]

    (note: Meta-Wikipedia is now devoted to software imperialism and mediawiki hegemony, and cannot be considered a valid forum to discuss any such "standard"; As an example of a failed attempt to organize against a cabal, see theUnited Wikipedias Forum - how to get a huge 40-language project governed in Simple English without a cabal taking it over completely. Obviously this has failed.

    GFDL corpus sources of information[edit | edit source]

      • Wikipedia (.org) The free encyclopedia, all content is under GFDL. - (Running MediaWiki) use [[w:Article name]]

        • Cookbook - One of the wikibooks that is of particular interest is the cookbook. Includes information on vegan and vegetarian food as well as other moral purchasing. - (Running MediaWiki, under GFDL)
      • Wiktionary - The free dictionary and thesaurus in every language. GFDL also. Not much happening there now. - (Running MediaWiki, under GFDL)
      • Simple English Wikipedia (.org) - educating people all over the world, finding out what they care about, recruiting those who can keep opinion wiki up to date. This is the translation base for all Wikipedias, and may be necessary for use to provide background notes in any language for Consumerium advice.
