Background

Misplaced Pages:Attribution (WP:ATT) is an attempt to unite Misplaced Pages:Verifiability (WP:V) and Misplaced Pages:No original research (WP:NOR). It was worked on for over five months by more than 300 editors, and was upgraded to policy on 15 February, 2007. The proposal was e-mailed to Misplaced Pages co-founder Jimbo Wales, made public on various policy talk pages, on the WikiEN-L mailing list, and was announced on The Misplaced Pages Signpost.

More recently, on the WikiEN-L mailing list, Jimbo Wales suggested:

  • "A broad community discussion to shed light on the very good work done by a group of people laboring away on WP:ATT and related pages", (see: Misplaced Pages talk:Attribution/Community discussion), and then,
  • "a poll to assess the feelings of the community as best we can, and then we can have a final certification of the results."
