Jurispedia

Short, unsourced article on website with no claims to notability. Wyington Duarm 21:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep This is called judging a book by it's cover. I hadn't heard of Jurispedia until the article, but it's obvious that the short text will increase. The website is "inspired by Misplaced Pages" and copies its format; surfing to it is like ending up in a parallel universe run by attorneys.

However, unlike a lot of other sites that take a Wiki article verbatim and call it their own, Jurispedia at least acknowledges that it's imitating Wiki. I can only surmise that the reason that Wiki hasn't sued Jurispedia is that this legal research site got permission. Or Misplaced Pages overlooks these things "pro bono" (for the greater good).

  • Comment. Ok, that may have been a joke, but since you're a relatively new user, Mandsford, I feel compelled to mention the policy on copyrights in case it wasn't and you actually don't realize the wide freedom to reuse content granted by Misplaced Pages's GFDL licensing.
