Colleagues
Since the localized wiki is part of the OrthodoxWiki project, we consider that all images and articles for which OrthodoxWiki has obtained special permission to use may also be used on localized OrthodoxWikis using the same domain name.
 
==Colleagues==
A "colleague" relationship is especially appropriate where the focus of another wiki (e.g. their interpretation of [[NPOV|N.P.O.V.]] and "mainstream Chalcedonian Orthodox bias") differs from OrthodoxWiki's. We expect this would be the case, for example, if an Old Calendarist Greek group wanted to create their own wiki, or for Coptic/non-Chalcedonians or Roman (or other) Catholic wikis, or if another Eastern Orthodox group wanted to start a wiki with a substantially different focus or mission. In some cases, we may recognize other wikis as "colleagues" even if they do not call themselves Christian.
 
The word "colleague" assumes that we have a sense of common mission or complementarity, and are happy to work together and support each others work.
 
In this case, we would not share a common branding - domain names, logos, linkbuttons, etc. would all be distinct. Similarly, special image and article permissions would be handled separately.
 
Colleagues will get public recognition and prominent links on the wiki, as well as explicit permission to use any appropriate OrthodoxWiki material (as long as it fits their licensing scheme) and any other assistance or encouragement we can provide.
 
Colleague status may be revoked at any point, especially if the mission of the other wiki veers beyond a general "N.P.O.V." or "descriptive" stance and formally adopts strong polemics against another group in such a way that we are not comfortable having any formal association with them.
