[WikiEN-l] Cooperation with EUobserver

Tue Sep 30 03:49:48 UTC 2003

While initially I thought this agreement was a good idea, and still see 
these sorts of things as in our interest, in this particular case it 
seems mostly useless.  The summaries on their front page seem to be 
typically two to three sentences long, so it'd be trivial in the absence 
of this agreement to simply use their full articles as a source and 
write an article incorporating the information therein ourselves.  We 
already incorporate factual information from other news sources (BBC 
News, CNN, Reuters, AP, etc.) in this manner.
