Are there any legal reasons why the Baldrige Criteria themselves cannot be reproduced here?
- Legal reason? No. While they may be covered by copyright, I strongly believe that the National Quality Program would give permission. Practical reason? Well, almost. There're small changes in the criteria from year to year. It's possibly best to leave that on NIST's servers, than reproduce them here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rick lightburn (talk • contribs) 20:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merger Proposal
Absolutely merge - spelling error should be resolved.
Merrrrrgggggggge
These articles should be merged. Good call whoever noticed this. 67.79.54.130 15:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The page Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award is clearly the result of a spelling error, but seems to contains some relevant information. --RichardVeryard 11:04, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
The merger between these 2 identical topics will be usefull, especially the merger won't be comprehensive and the subject is the same. Legal reasons to describe this topic are unknown, but in this case, the more knowledge published, the better the understanding. Also there are currently no inside knowledge topics revealed which may harm the MBNQA.
Merge but offer a redirect from the misspelling - it is not uncommon for individuals new to the MBQNA to introduce the extra "d" in the spelling. Link to the criteria rather than reproduce - this will provide ease of maintenance as the criteria are updated annually.
Hear hear, the last point. I initially misspelled the title and found the other article first. "The more knowledge published, the better the understanting". - M Chamula 13/06/07
