Group 1 Contact Info
- Chris Johnson (cjohnson@law.harvard.edu)
- Tyler Tassin (ttassin@law.harvard.edu)
- Jason Liss (jliss@law.harvard.edu)
Potential Wikipedia disputes that we can address
- There's a Request for Comment as to whether or not it is appropriate for waterboarding to be referred to definitively as torture. I have no particular affection for the topic, but it's more substantive than many. On the other hand, it's also quite far along, so we would really be late to the game. There's also one about the meaning of "compete" that I find entertaining. In general, the 3R and RFC pages appear to me to be the best candidates for our participation. Jhliss 06:13, 7 January 2008 (EST)
- I agree, and like the idea of participating on the RFC page.
Proposed Meeting
Should we try to meet face-to-face? Either just before or just after class on Monday? Cjohnson 21:44, 6 January 2008 (EST)
I vote after. In the meantime if people have areas they are passionate about maybe they can try to find a dispute on a subject matter they like. User: ttassin
I vote before. Jhliss 06:13, 7 January 2008 (EST)
Unless everyone has visited the wiki to find out about a meeting, it might have to be after. We can keep it short and just agree to do all of our collaboration here? Cjohnson 08:23, 7 January 2008 (EST)
Alright, so let's just meet right after class. Mshacham 15:51, 7 January 2008 (EST)
The Topic
Should we try to get a general consensus on how we feel about this RFC, once we're all up to speed?
- I think the quote needs to be shortened Cjohnson 21:25, 7 January 2008 (EST)
Proposed Approach
There are a few areas that I think are worth addressing. Here's a rough draft of a potential framework - please add/subtract as appropriate.
1) Does the lengthy quote add value?
- If so, can it be shortened without losing that value?
2) Are such long quotes consistent with Wikipedia policies and common practices?
3) Are there external legal issues (e.g., copyright) that need to be considered? Cjohnson 21:27, 7 January 2008 (EST)
