I noticed you posted to Billlund that you updated some information on Copyrights. I think a disclosure on how the contributions will be treated by the users is very necessary for them to feel comfortable donating their time to create articles. Additionally, since the LDS project on Wikipedia is pretty active and, imho, fairly balanced presentation (although some articles provide too much credence to suspect sources) articles from there could create the seed of the articles here, as long as when they are copied, proper attribution is made to the source on wikipedia. Thus, the license here would have to comply with the GNU Free Documentation License ("GDL") in order for us to use the information here. Since I would like to do that - copy over some articles from Wikipedia and see what happens in the mormonwiki community - I am very interested in making sure the copyright here is such that I can copy over that information and be in compliance with the GDL.
