:I hope that this is clear enough. Our world is a little more nuanced than Wikipedia's, but that's what keeps the edit-warring to an absolute minimum here. At Centiare, you can '''protect''' and '''promote''' your labors. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 10:36, 17 May 2007 (PDT)

::Main space is reserved for traditional open-access [[NPOV]] articles, with all the attendant edit wars, etc. However, there is an exception: if an entry has been formerly published as an academic paper, then it can be protected as an [[Centiare:ERB|ERB]] article. We established ERB policy to encourage formal encyclopedias & research publications to publish full articles/excerpts at Centiare. ERB articles are protected from non-author editing + enjoy full copyright protection.
::Directory space is [[APOV]] by default, plus no one other than original editors (ie "page owners") + Centiare sys ops can edit the pages. Directory listings are no different than if you set up your own wiki - you can doing anything you want within your listing(s), including commercial activities, as long as it's legal.
::Here are a couple of examples of on-line virtual businesses running at Centiare:
::*[[Directory:KJ Kitchens]]
::*[[Directory:Minks Theater Presents]]
::The advantage of using Centiare's directory space over running your own wiki or using another hosted wiki is that we have all sorts of cool extensions (just gotta get <math> going) & facilities running that Google really seems to love. As stated above, the whole point is to get top search rankings via legitimate means. ~~~~
