Justin Durand, you misinterpret my response to your first post. I was responding to the word collaborative in general speaking. I did not say that your were not collaborating on this Ragnar project.
But you moved on in this discussion and picked up on the general meaning of collaboration and presented some good thoughts. I think we both have discussed one or two of these ideas before, a little while ago.
You suggest something like this; "Please do not edit this page without permission of Anette, Loretta or Dimitri."
That's what we more or less trying to achieve with our projects with the Triple A Collective. In our latest project: Geni’s Photographers Plaza we say:
For reservations (for Photographers ONLY!) and further details on how to participate in this Plaza,
please contact project manager.
This actually works. None is messing about with the content of the project. You are absolutely right, Justin.
We did not consider using these kind of wording because it is more familiar with us, using it on the Plaza's. But using it on the Ragnar project doesn't seem to me like a solution to the problem so well described by Harald Tveit Alvestrand; 'drive by' editing, hahaha!!!
The Plaza's present Personal Projects Pages. Ragnar is a popular historical figure. And perhaps it is an option to consider for everybody who feels the need to, like you say;
"create a parallel project for users.
Ragnar Lodbrok is an important figure. He deserves to have a project where users can participate in creating a project information page."
It is a big misunderstanding though, this Triple A Collective project is not open for collaboration. Like Anette Guldager Boye described very clearly, there is a limit to collaboration when users keep changing very important data, like how names are spelled in the correct way.
