Original content?
Should we create original content for the "Mars" page? An exhaustive page exists on Wikipedia ([1]) but to import this seems like a bit of a cheat if Marspedia is to be something more unique. Is this page even required if there is a better reference on wikipedia? Ioneill 07:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- As meanwhile discussed on your talk page I think we can write our own contents here. This page has its own focus and will surely develop its own feeling, I mean different from the Wikipedia article that has the same name. Rfc 12:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. Marspedia has an emphisis on Mars settlement, so the main Mars article should be focused around this fact - will be more unique than the Wikipedia article. Although there might be some use in grabbing science from the Wikipedia page (like orbital facts), the majority should be unique writing. Ioneill 19:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
