GFDL and editing for consideration

Interesting point you made at the thread on paid editing at the VPP. Can you please put that in layman's terms though? English is not my first language or? Erich Mendacio (talk) 20:55, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

The GFDL is the license used for Misplaced Pages articles.
When you submit an edit to Misplaced Pages, there is legal text displayed under the text box.
Some of the text says you agree to license under the GFDL.
Some of the legal text also says that a Misplaced Pages Terms of Service applies.
The proposal (as I understand it) was to force paid editors through a special process that involves the foundation collecting a percentage from the payer.
If the proposal were accepted, additional legal text could be added to the Terms of Service.
The additional text could demand editors comply with the policy.
My speculation is that the additional rule would be just as binding on editors as the requirement they irrevokably license their edits under the GFDL. --Mysidia (talk) 22:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Misplaced Pages:New admin school/Rollback and Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton |  23:07, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
