Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll/Questions

__NOTOC__

Note: This list of suggestion questions is not complete.

Note

This is not a poll; these are some of the questions considered in the making of Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll. All of them are questions somebody wanted to know the answer to; many of them were objected to as biased by somebody else. If they inspire your comments on the poll/discussion, they have at least served some purpose.

Do you support replacing [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] and [[Wikipedia:No original research]] with a single policy?

If these policies aren't replaced, should [[Wikipedia:Attribution]] be kept as ''official'' policy:

== Yes, it should be kept as official policy together with the current ones. ==

WP:ATT is not everywhere verbally identical with its sources. Its supporters assert it makes no changes in policy, but is better phrased.

= A. The original pages become inactive. Wikipedia:Attribution serves as a unified policy on their subjects.=

= B. Wikipedia:Attribution remains as the definitive policy, but the original pages remain active to describe the concepts in greater detail.=

= C. The original pages serve as the definitive policies (or guideline in the case of WP:RS), but Wikipedia:Attribution remains active as a condensed summary.=

= D. Wikipedia:Attribution becomes inactive. (Parts of it that reflect consensus are integrated into the original pages.)=
