Any chance of a bit more, well, community?

The community talk page is empty and hasn't been edited since November

I can't find any list of admins to talk to regarding general newbie questions and stuff

Come on, this could be so great a project if people pulled together a bit more.

>>>> P.S. Clicking the link above incorrectly displays that you're still on the Wipipedia website in the address bar, not Wikipedia - I guess this is because you are using frames to hide the lfhosting address - maybe you should make it so external links open automatically in a new window to avoid opening in a frame, or use "a href="whatever" target="_top"> to make it open ignoring the frame as a proper link.

alternately you might want to set up your website DNS to point directly to lfhosting instead of simply having a "frame" page on wipipedia.org that displays the real site, lfhosting in the frame: talk to your host if you don't know how to do this :)

Yeah, I know I'm clever. Thank me later. ;) :p --Mistress Selina Kyle 13:20, 24 December 2005 (GMT)

Above message also on Wipipedia talk:Community Portal in hopes someone'll see it! --Mistress Selina Kyle 13:22, 24 December 2005 (GMT)

I'm all for this website, and I think it's a brilliant idea. I've written a few articles as starting points, and I hope people will take some time to expand on what I wrote. --ViciousLover 11:54 AM, 25 December 2005 (EMT)

Hi, I set the site up in March this year, I'm one of the crew that run the London Fetish Scene website and we though this would be an interesting way of creating a community resource. Most the content has been created by Tanos, Intersom, andm myself (most copied from wikipedia); because we have other calls on our time we tend to go though phases of enthusiasm for editing the site. I do need to do some work on the techi side of the site, I'll set up a new page on system so that people can report bugs etc. It is great to see that you have some enthusiasm for what we are doing.

Image liceneses

I wanted to copy the image at Spanking bench for the spankign art wiki, but there is no indication on that page whether this is PD or has been released under a free license. Indeed several pages do not seem to ahve any indication of the copyright terms. Is this a GFDL wiki? I could write your copyright page (look at spanking art's copyright page which is largely my work) but only if I know if text posted here is under the GFDL or not (if not, I can't copy content from spanking art or wikipedia.

The entire site is covered by the GFDL (I eventually found where we say so, under 'About Wipipedia' [but I use a different template than the standard]). Individual items may have other copyright conditions and should say so if they are different. Personally, I'm not convinced that people think enough about copyright when using text or images from elsewhere but there's not a lot that can be done about that.
If you are willing to, I think we could do with a decent copyright page. It wouldn't be a straight copy of the Spanking Art one, as this site is hosted in the UK but please feel free to have a go.

Thanks. I was used to wikipedia, where every image has an explicit license statement, and any image uploaded without one is promptly deleted. I think you might want to add an explicit "Content on this site is release under the GFDL" to your footer -- there is pleanty of room. I don't know UK copyright law as well as I do US, but I can give at least a general overview. Mercy60a 15:44, 11 May 2006 (BST)

Categories

Should we have a category for clothing? Most cloting articles here could go under fetish, but not all fetish articles are clothing. --Taxwoman 23:17, 28 June 2006 (BST)

Personally, I'm not convinced, though I don't feel strongly either way. Surely, all items of clothing here should be fetish, or why are they here and isn't most fetish about clothing? <ducks head> ;-) --Interesdom 10:33, 29 June 2006 (BST)
I think it is something we should hold in reserve, the fetish category is not so big as to be difficult to navigate when it starts to become unwieldy is the time to add a new category (IHMO). I do think it is about time we had a look at all of the categories and come to a conclusion if any should be merged or deleted, for instance SM is very small and maybe should be merged with BDSM. I am sure there are others. When I set the original cetegories up we only had a hundred or so articles, we now have nearly 1000. An overhaul might be in order. Balzac 11:18, 29 June 2006 (BST)
Given that this is a Fetish/BDSM encyclopedia, it would seem to make sense to have at least 'Fetish' along with the commonly-accepted breakdown of BDSM: Bondage/Discipline (probably best broken into two categories of 'Bondage' and 'Discipline' [which could be a renamed Punishment]), 'Dominance and submission' (which could remain as 'D/s'), 'Sadomasochism' (which could remain as 'SM' and should have many more articles assigned to it). Some of those may be small for now but I find it hard to justify not having them as a minimum. On the other hand, given that we have the breakdown of BDSM, do we really need it as a category? The main messy area is currently Other Topics. --Interesdom 13:35, 29 June 2006 (BST)
Good point, BDSM should then perhaps become the top level category and a catch all for articles that don't fall into one of the subdivisions. Balzac 16:44, 29 June 2006 (BST)

Literature etc.

I like Wipipedia and my aim is to gradually contribute some content about authors, books, films and history of alternative sexualities. OK? Is there room for this? Any suggestions or guidelines? Andronikos Komnenos 23:02, 1 July 2006 (BST)
