Wikipedia talk:Attribution does not require blame

"Blame" term

As mentioned in the Glossary section, Git's command is blame. Apache Subversion (SVN) uses blame also, while Concurrent Versions System (CVS) and Mercurial use annotate.

I am open to another term, but "blame" has widespread adoption. Flatscan (talk) 05:36, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Also Version control#Blame, which Cryptic linked. Flatscan (talk) 05:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

• I added two more discussions and two key dates: when WP:Copying within Wikipedia was promoted to guideline and when revision deletion was enabled for administrators. WP:CWW is relevant because there had been a lack of documentation for attribution. Flatscan (talk) 05:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
• I added WMF Legal's response and indicated that a recent discussion is continuing. Flatscan (talk) 05:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
• One discussion was archived. Flatscan (talk) 05:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Edit by Uanfala

Uanfala edited this essay to be more favorable to their interpretation, and I reverted. This page is cited by WT:Revision deletion#Attribution does not require blame to provide background, and the related WT:Revision deletion#RfC: Remove "attribution" clauses from RD1 is still open. I am organizing specific objections to the changes. Flatscan (talk) 04:29, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Is there any specifically in my changes that you disagree with? – Uanfala (talk) 11:09, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
