Directory Space
Directory Space is a protected MyWikiBiz custom namespace that supports advocate point of view (APOV) for "user-owned" pages.
MyWikiBiz uses an entity (person [legal organization or individual], place, or thing) concept to determine placement. The basic rule-of-thumb to determine whether an article should be listed under the Directory Space or be placed within Main Space is: "Would the entity have legal standing in a court of law"?
If the answer is yes as to whether an entity could bring a cause of action as a plaintiff, or respond to a complaint as a defendant, then it should be listed under the Directory Space. Examples:
- Commercial Enterprise - International Business Machines
- Non-Profit Organization - Wikimedia Foundation
- Government/Agency - City of Huntington Beach
- Person (Living/Deceased) - Estate of Carl Sagan
- Property - Disney/Mickey Mouse
If the answer is no, then it should be placed within Main Space and follow traditional neutral point of view (NPOV) rules of conduct. Examples:
Discussion
Note Discussions regarding Directory listing entries should take place in the respective discussion namespaces. For example, corporate governance issues respective to publicly held companies; mutual fund performance; intellectual property merits; etc.
