(Very neat table btw thank you to whoever made it, I think it was Wisconcom?)

I added a public domain section at the top of the essays to put in my guide to talk to police.

The public domain section therefore is a place for when you want to collectivize your essay, either by design or because you don't want to work on it and want to let other comrades take a shot. It's also a place to post your essay "anonymously" (it will still show who created the page in the logs) or detach it from your name specifically.

My essay was specifically meant to be public domain where people should add stuff where they can, and I didn't want it attached specifically to my own name.

This could also solve the "abandoned" essays question; they could be moved to an abandoned section after some time.

It was me 🥺🥺🥺

Also as to the authorship question, I don't think it's fair that a comrade spent work and then after some time their authorship is lost...

The only suggestion I can think of is that the contents of the essay can be copied by someone interested in finishing it, and then we can add a section on the table for both authors.

For instance, if Wisconcom wanted to finish AmericanBaath's essay, he would create a new one and attribute the authorship to AmericanBaath & Wisconcom.

I think my solution is still insufficient and perhaps we can improve the idea, but it's the only thing I can think of. Because what if AmericanBaath decides to finish it up later?

Haha sorry comrade, I must have confused contributions.

Otherwise I agree, removing ownership is a bit difficult.
