''As mentioned on the forums, I think the current phrasing of the motion PR-2010-013 of the Editorial Council is problematic. Since those who voted for the motion did not address my concerns, the best way to address these issues seems to be to submit an alternatively phrased motion and to see what support it can get in a formal vote of the council. Feel free to edit the "Revised phrasing" section.''

Original phrasing
The importation of articles copied from other sources, in particular from other Internet encylopedias such as Wikipedia, is not allowed.

The only exceptions to this general rule are
 * articles written originally almost entirely by the Citizen who imports them and who, in addition, is also an active contributor, and
 * specific articles that are explicitly accepted by the Editorial Council.

Remark: Of course, any available source&mdash;including Wikipedia&mdash;may be used in a professional manner to find information and inspiration.
