"...multiplicity is the greatest factor for coordination."

Welcome to the Bahá'í9 Wiki page!

We are building an online open-content Bahá'í site inspired by the open-content Wikipedia project. Note: This is a compendium, not an encyclopedia where articles are written under an essay style with paragraphs as at Wikipedia (see our site rules).

We started at an earlier site in November 5, 2003 (this incarnation in August 17, 2004), and we are now working on 1,837 articles. Learn how to edit pages or feel free to experiment here: Sandbox.

Pages onsite here have been monitored at least through October 1, 2016, but please read this important Disclaimer.

Visit Main Page Temp to suggest changes to this page you are now reading (since this page is locked to editing).

By contributing, you grant rights to use your material under this license, and you also agree to grant copyright to Brett Zamir (owner of Bahai9) so that he may in the future have the freedom to decide to release the materials under any other number of licenses, whether dual-licensing under another open license or allowing a restricted license for usage by say a Bahá'í institution which may wish to publish, etc.; this does not take away your rights to use or modify your own material, it does not alter the copyright status of materials submitted here under fair use or under their own open terms (such as the Baha'i Writings), nor does it (nor can it) take away your right to continue using the materials of the site under the current open license, "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike"; it is simply to provide more options if needed in the future.

The Bahá'í9 Wiki aims to create an information source on the Bahá'í Faith that is freely available. The license we use grants free access to our content in the same sense as free software is licensed freely. That is to say, Bahá'í9 Wiki content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the article used (a direct link back to the article (or site if copying a larger portion of articles) satisfies our author credit requirement). Bahá'í9 Wiki articles therefore will remain free forever and can be used by anyone subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom. The Bahá'í Writings used here, as with other copyrighted items included here by permission, however, preserve their original copyright status.
