__TOC__

== Why "Validation"? ==

"Validation" is deliberately broad because WikiDeal validates not only content, but also code (software), strategies (governance decisions), policies (community rules), and images, concepts and other non-textual assets.

Major validations take place through '''voting''', with multiple methods including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method Condorcet-style votes] (as used in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_elections Wikimedia governance]) for political and strategic orientations.

The term was chosen over alternatives such as "Endorsement" (too narrow — retained as sub-category), "Review" (too limited), "Approval" (too binary), and "Human Adoption" (ambiguous). See [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_validation Article validation] and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Article_endorsement Article endorsement] on Meta-Wiki for background.

== Legal Endorsement ==

Qualified legal professionals formally vouch for the legal quality of content, '''engaging their professional licence'''.

=== What is public on attorney/jurist profiles ===
* Official status (attorney, jurist, notary, etc.)
* Region of competence (country, state, canton)
* Languages of practice
* Mode: with or without service provision
* Quality and quantity of contributions

=== What is verified but not publicly visible ===
* Diplomas and bar admissions — stored in a secure space, verified by the platform
* Licence verification documents

=== With service provision ===
The professional registers with their real name, offers consulting and adaptation services at their own rates, and accepts WikiDeal miles or currency. Full professional responsibility is engaged.

=== Voluntary contribution ===
The professional reviews and endorses content as a community contribution. Their responsibility is engaged to a lesser degree — they are sharing expertise, not providing a professional service.

== Community Validation ==

'''No legal credentials required.''' Everyone can contribute creativity, critical sense, and practical experience. Two indicators: '''Confirmed''' (explicit review) and '''Used''' (real-world usage).

== Arbitration ==

Arbitration is where Legal Endorsement and Community Validation meet. The '''procedure and legal basis''' require Legal Endorsement. The '''compensatory outcomes''' are decided through Community Validation — by entrepreneurs, freelancers, and experienced users who bring practical sense and critical judgment.

''Content coming soon. See [[Portal:Validation/Arbitration]].''

== Voting Procedures ==

Major validations — strategies, policies, governance decisions — are resolved through voting:

* '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method Condorcet method]''' — ranked-choice voting as used in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_elections Wikimedia governance]
* '''Simple majority''' — for routine decisions
* '''Supermajority''' — for statutory or structural changes

== Open Policy Questions — Current Pioneering Debates ==

These are the pioneering debates that will shape WikiDeal's validation framework. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

* How does a professional concretely engage liability? What recourse exists?
* Should endorsement be per-page, per-section, or per-version?
* How are endorsements displayed? (green banner, badge, counter?)
* How do WikiDeal miles interact with endorsement services?
* Cross-jurisdictional endorsement rules?
* ''Add your question here — use the Edit button or the Talk page.''
