I had something pulled earlier this week that sighted Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not on the banned list.

Wikipedia’s own web site says that they allow posting of Wikipeida material.

I think Wikipedia is OK.

What do you say, boss?

Hi Jim, I agree with xcamel. If there is a way to make it easier to find the list, it would definitely increase compliance.

I second xcamel's request, but have another alternative that would also reduce unnecessary excerpting:

When a FReeper is about to post an article, FIRST present a page in which he provides the URL, then clicks "Next" (or whatever). Look up to see if this is a site that is:
- prohibited,
- requires excerpting, or
- is fair game.
(My blog will always be "fair game". An entry from December, just appeared in a church newsletter in the UK, with attribution. Nobody's seen fit to post anything to FR, but then again I can't see why they would. *\;-)

Present different screens depending upon the result, so the posting FReeper knows what the rules are BEFORE he goes through the entire posting process.

Excellent idea! We do want to follow the rules.
