Exporting to Wikipedia
: I think this would be a good idea, actually, especially considering that the consensus over at Wikipedia finds our dual license incompatible with their single one (which would allow material to be brought from there to here, but not here to there).[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy#Unattributed_imports_from_OrthodoxWiki:__Please_help.21]. I've updated the text on this article to make this incompatibility more explicit. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== Exporting to Wikipedia ==
I noted that [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] weighed in over at Wikipedia stating that material from here could indeed go there.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy&curid=6070229&diff=125633153&oldid=125632558] That's of course conflicting with the clarifications I added to this page. I changed it the way I did because of the "both/and" language used throughout rather than the single "either/or" used in [[Template:Defaultcopy]].
It's now not clear to me what the clarification should be, since the "both/and" language seems essentially incompatible with Wikipedia's GFDL-only policy. If we instead choose to opt for the "either/or" which Fr. John's comment on Wikipedia advocated, then we run the risk of having done a bait-and-switch on our licensing: folks contributed thinking that they were issuing their edits under a truly dual license, when they could in fact have been issuing them under either one or the other.
I'm honestly of the opinion that the dual license makes us compatible with WP in only one direction: from there to here. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
