I have a number of articles elsewhere ( Everything2) about various types of British railway locomotive that I'd like to put here. Should I create 'British Rail class NN' articles for them (all have two-digit numerical classification)? Or would it be better to stuff them all into a smaller number of pages, given that most of the more obscure ones are only going to warrant a small number of paragraphs? Or indeed, any other suggestion?
I guess I'll just do it the way that seems good to me, and then let you all disagree with me! Probably easier to tell me the right way to do it once you've all got a concrete example in front of you. -- Morven 23:57, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
(to Martin) With ref to Wikipedia:Guide for Everything2 noders: after the discussion on page size between the two sites, I wanted to add something about the way E2's experience point system alters writing style, article length etc. and that those things might be best avoided here. What do you think? Couldn't come up with good words for it yet. -- Morven 07:21, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I have found some nodes on Everything2 that I'd like to (partially) copy to a WP article. Is this permissible by copyright? (I didn't write the E2 content.) What attribution would I need to use? -- bdesham 02:12, Sep 15, 2003 (UTC)
I think most E2 users don't mind, but by default they haven't given their permission. If more E2 users signed their posts with something like "This writeup is in the public domain." then we would be better able to assimiliate E2 content into Wikipedia. - User:Mathiastck 3:05 pm 11/14/05
Everything2 was popular back in the day, but it's clear that Everything2 has evolved very differently from Wikipedia and is much less well known. It also serves a different purpose. I'm gonna tag this as historical per WP:BOLD.-- h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
