Heraldry Wiki?

Jul 09, 2012 14:12

I received a message this weekend indicating that one of my heraldry articles had been republished as part of an SCA wiki on heraldry. I don't think I have a problem with that in general terms. The HTML needs a little cleanup, I've been meaning to revise the article with better graphics (yeah, once it is published, there is little incentive to do much unless an error is found), and the only other issue I have is that it points to my old website that I've more or less abandoned in favor of ealdercote.org.

EDIT: ID10T Error I just realized why the wiki points to the old website. The new website doesn't currently show the link to the article even though the article exists there. DUH!End Edit

Ultimately, it is probably better as a wiki since the online community will help ensure that it stays relevant and up-to-date--especially if I lose interest--but a part of me laments the loss of control as the originating compiler/author. It is an SCA-oriented article, written specifically for that context, and because I have granted the SCA the right to republish it (via the KWHSS Proceedings) or as an item of interest in any SCA newsletter, I'm not sure where a wiki fits into that scheme of permissions. The person creating the wiki has asked permission (even though the article seems to already be published on the wiki).

Any thoughts or opinions from folks who've had something similar occur to their work?
