At the current stage of maturity of PW, it is often not advisable to write a comprehensive articles about a topic if someone else has already done it elsewhere. Put in a link to that external resource instead. (In the future, we will perhaps want to host copies of all these "dependencies" in the local repository as well, but not yet.)
When introducing a new term, please try to include a proper and non-biased definition of the topic before proceeding to the permacomputing-specific points of view. You can use [[Wikipedia]] or other sources for this, **just make sure you properly attribute and quote** (we are CC0, Wikipedia is CC-BY-SA, so you can't just copy-and-paste even from there). See below.
