[Proteopedia] Hydrogen and Water (Proteopedia)

[Eric Martz]

Dear Dan,

Thank you very much for the improvements that you made at
http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Hydrogen_in_macromolecular_models

I very much like your opening summary. I'll try to follow your example on that.

Also thanks for cleaning up my table and titling it. I have not yet 
learned how to use wikitext for tables. I am still considering 
expanding the table, in which case I may need colspans or rowspans. 
I'm not sure if that can be done with the wikitext table markup.

I am not comfortable putting my Content Attribution section in 
Discussion, so I have moved it back to the main article (and cleaned 
it up a bit). I have contributed a number of other pages where I have 
similar Content Attribution sections. In Proteopedia, we started a 
"Content Donator" policy when we began incorporating material written 
by others into articles.
http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Proteopedia_Page_Contributors_and_Editors

This is particularly crucial when we incorporate material, with 
permission, yet the original author's name does not appear in the 
automatically generated User list under "Page Contributors and 
Editors". For example, we have permission to incorporate content from 
the vast library of Kinemages authored in large part by Jane and 
David Richardson. When I began adapting large blocks of documentation 
from Protein Explorer into Proteopedia, I was much more comfortable 
doing so with Content Attribution statements crediting my original work.

Please note that Proteopedia's policies on attribution are quite 
different from those of Wikipedia, not only in "content attribution", 
but also in listing the real full names of all "Page Contributors and 
Editors". We are forging new ground here, I think, in constructing a 
wiki with a more professional tone than Wikipedia. Our goals include 
to give clear credit as well as responsibility.

While I'm talking about policies, I'll invite everyone to revisit

Sincerely, -Eric
