Wikipedia:WikiProject Open Access/Signalling OA-ness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"This page is about how Wikipedia pages could signal to readers whether a particular reference is open access or not, as outlined in this Signpost op-ed. The main purpose of such signalling would be to spare readers the disappointment of clicking through to the resource only to find out that they do not have access rights to read it. The scheme is also useful for Wikipedia editors who can see at a glance whether a given reference would be licensed in a way that allows for the images, media or even text to be reused in Wikipedia articles...."
