I would appreciate if someone replaced the content of the page, except the categories, with User:Buidhe paid/Open definition. I've rewritten and expanded the page based on independent sources. Buidhe paid (talk) 18:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • and it has become something of a standard.
  • I think discussing Gartner's alternative would be DUE here.
    • Done
  • Lawyer Andrew Katz criticizes this definition for not doing enough to guarantee transparency and prevent vendor lock-in. Why?
    • Expanded
  • Made some small CE edits
  • Source review is pending
  • Looking at the Martin 2022 source, it might make more sense to talk in brief (maybe just one line) about David Wiley's interpretation of the open-content as well as Bruce Peren's definition (again a single line) since those seem relevant to the content at hand.
    • Done
  • Sourcing seems to check out
  • MOS tends to prefer that there are no citations in the lede, with the lede being mostly a summary of content in the article.
    • It is, but former names are expected to be included in the lead and direct quotations have to be cited even if they summarize the body.
The rest seems great, thanks for working on this article. :) Sohom (talk) 16:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
