Our Relation to Wikipedia
We are not affiliated with the Wikipedia. We are just inspired by it.
Content
Wikipedia content is the property of its author. But it is licensed using a GNU Free Documentation License. That license prevents certain kind of use and is different in some ways from the Creative Commons attribution license used here. Therefore, to be more open in terms of use, we cannot include content from the Wikipedia here verbatim. We do not adhere to their GNU licensing requirements. We may however, in the future, upgrade the license to future versions or variations of the creative commons or similarly free licenses. You are completely welcome to be involved in that discussion.
Duplicate Articles
There will be a small subset of articles that have entries both here and in the Wikipedia. It would be best to avoid duplicating content, to avoid accidentally copying material from the Wikipedia here, and also to avoid duplicated efforts.
For articles in the Wikipedia that are closely related to Shambhala Buddhism (see Shambhala related Wikipedia articles) we recommend starting the article with a reference to the Wikipedia article. When considering expanding an article on that topic or adding useful citations, please consider expanding that content in the Wikipedia if it's generally useful to the public. If your edits are more specific to the Shambhala Buddhist community then expand the article here instead.
