===Copying from other [[GFDL]] sources=== | |||
*Use <nowiki>---- {{MSG:fromwp}}</nowiki> as a footer (put it to the end of the article) to mark articles adapted from [[Wikipedia]] | |||
*Use <nowiki>---- {{MSG:fromdp}}</nowiki> as a footer to mark articles adapted from [[Disinfopedia]] | |||

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. | |||

*It could be a good idea to set up a scratchpad (like: [[User:Juxo/Scratchpad]] for yourself, it's easier to produce high quality texts if you start them somewhere, where they aren't supposed or required to make sense in the begining. This also supports finding better article names since you can see what your scribbling turns to in a few edits. | *It could be a good idea to set up a scratchpad (like: [[User:Juxo/Scratchpad]] for yourself, it's easier to produce high quality texts if you start them somewhere, where they aren't supposed or required to make sense in the begining.
