Talk:GNUPedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see that someone moved this from GNUPedia to GNUpedia, so I'm assuming that this is the proper name. If so, shouldn't all of the references to GNUpedia be changed?--SCooley138 09:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

This gnu.org page announcing GNUPedia spells it with a capital P. So does this Slashdot posting. John Broughton 17:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL in GNUpedia?

GNE specifies GFDL for the text of articles [1]. But from my reading of Stallman's original proposal, he didn't specify it there [2] - check under Permit quotation with attribution. I guess this was because he was talking about distinct web pages set up by the contributors themselves, rather than a Wiki format - but then he did at the same time suggest GFDL for courses - Permit modified versions of courses. Would full copyright on article text have been acceptable, subject to the quotation permission? I can't figure out how that would fit in with the freedom to create mirror sites. Anyone enlighten me?--Shtove 17:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Propose move back to GNUPedia

I see the article was moved to this title with the lowercase "p" a year or two back. Since all the references I've seen so far spell it with a capital "P", as do the references given above (from 2006) and even the article itself, I propose it be moved back to the original uppercase title. I'll go ahead with the move on Wednesday (UTC-5) if nobody voices a contrary opinion. I'll use AWB to fix links to bypass the new redirect, as well.

Sure; the general consensus seems to be that nobody knows why it was ever moved. --pie4all88 (talk) 07:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I figured that, since the article even refers to itself with an uppercase P. Rather odd, that. Barring a comment here to the contrary, I'll move it tomorrow. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 15:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, I moved it now. I was bored. :P All links in the main namespace have been fixed, including redirects (which AWB didn't want to edit). Hope I haven't missed anyone's objection! Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 04:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
