Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll/Questions
Note: This list of suggestion questions is not complete.
Note
[edit]This is not a poll; these are some of the questions considered in the making of Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll. All of them are questions somebody wanted to know the answer to; many of them were objected to as biased by somebody else. If they inspire your comments on the poll/discussion, they have at least served some purpose.
Do you support replacing Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research with a single policy?
[edit]If there is a merge, are Wikipedia:Attribution (and its FAQ proposed as a guideline) adequate replacements of Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research, and perhaps Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
[edit]Yes, it is good enough.
[edit]No, it requires significant changes.
[edit]If these policies aren't replaced, should Wikipedia:Attribution be kept as official policy:
[edit]Yes, it should be kept as official policy together with the current ones.
[edit]Yes, it should be kept as official policy, and the others should be explanations of it.
[edit]No, it should be made historical.
[edit]No, but it could serve as a summary of current policies.
[edit]Do you support Wikipedia:Attribution?
[edit][i.e., Do you believe it can be useful in some form?]
If the pages are merged should they include:
[edit][Vote in the appropriate section, "yes" or "no".
Do you support the merger behind Wikipedia:Attribution?
[edit]Which of the following do you support?
[edit][You can vote any of the options, or vote 1st option, 2nd option and so forth]
In the alternatives given below, the original pages means: those policy or guideline pages that, in accordance with consensus established in response to question 2, should be merged into Wikipedia:Attribution. WP:ATT is not everywhere verbally identical with its sources. Its supporters assert it makes no changes in policy, but is better phrased.
A. The original pages become inactive. Wikipedia:Attribution serves as a unified policy on their subjects.
[edit]B. Wikipedia:Attribution remains as the definitive policy, but the original pages remain active to describe the concepts in greater detail.
[edit]C. The original pages serve as the definitive policies (or guideline in the case of WP:RS), but Wikipedia:Attribution remains active as a condensed summary.
[edit]D. Wikipedia:Attribution becomes inactive. (Parts of it that reflect consensus are integrated into the original pages.)
[edit]Wikipedia:Attribution proposes that the current Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research policy with the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guideline be merged into a single policy page. Do you:
[edit][You can vote any of the options, or vote 1st option, 2nd option and so forth]
A. Support the merger of the three pages in the current form
[edit]B. Support some form of a merger, but not the current proposal
[edit]C. Support maintaining the current pages in their current form
