== Dual users ==
As a dual user (and now a dual administrator) of Conservapedia and CreationWiki, I have some questions that I think every registered user of multiple Wikis should ask himself--and here is the best place to put the answers.
What obligations does a dual user labor under?
May a dual user submit content--and by "content" I mean ''that user's own words''--directly to Conservapedia and to another Wiki?
If a dual user has already submitted content to another Wiki--say, CreationWiki--then how long does he have to submit that content to Conservapedia before having to do an extensive rewrite?
How extensive a rewrite would be required to avoid all questions of liability?
In asking these questions, I realize at once that some content requires an extensive rewrite because the "target audience" is not the same, and has different values and, for lack of a better term, needs. But if that situation does not apply, then a dual user might be tempted to submit exactly the same words to both projects. If a user is going to do that, then how many days apart may he do that and still stay within a legal definition of "a simultaneous submission"?
I am glad to have the opportunity to open a discussion on a topic of vital importance to Conservapedia. A firm policy on dual-user rights and obligations will go far to ensure that Conservapedia can get good content submitted to it.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 12:15, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
