Wikipedia is NOT a place for essays

Encyclopedia articles do not have an abstract or conclusion section. They have a lead pagragraph summarizing the salient points of the article, sections that describe the subject in more detail with citations, followed optionally by links to other related Wikipedia articles and references.

The article is also about a rather obscure unencyclopedic subject. This article resembles an essay written for school, and as such, has no place in this project. Please clean it up, else propose it for deletion. =Axlq 20:20, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]



Wikipedia is NOT a place for essays

This is not an essay, but definitions based on up-to-date empirical research and evidence. I am the author of the referenced article in question (http://www.shawmultimedia.com/edtech_oct_03.html) and hereby release it for publication/circulation on wikipedia.org.

Hi Michael Thanks for your message on the talkpage of Mutated learning object. The problem is twofold:

While I totally believe that you are Michael Shaw, own the copyright and can give permission for it to be used on Wikipedia, on the internet nobody can know for sure that people are who they say they are. For this reason, you need to follow the instructions above to confirm that you are the copyright holder and you give permission.
Secondly, you need to look into GFDL and understand that you are not just giving approval for your text to be used on Wikipedia. You need to release under GFDL so that it can be used anywhere, including for commercial purposes.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need more information. Like I said, sorry this is so complicated, but then so it the law!!--Slp1 23:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya,

Very interesting. I suppose I could just delete the original article from my server and then there would be no copyright issue. Although I have perused the legal jargon, I do not fully understand what is specifically required of me to release this research/information. Do you have an easy fix/solution?

Thanks Slp1!

Mike
