This is a public domain project. All original contributions become free for anyone and everyone to use. No attribution is required.

Do not upload copyrighted content (even if it is under the GFDL or a Creative Commons License, it is still copyrighted). Our copyright policy is as follows: In regards to uploaded images and text, we treat them as copyrighted if one of the following conditions exists:
 * Has a copyright notice and was published on or after January 1, 1923.
 * Does not have a copyright notice, but appears to have been published on or after January 1, 1978.

We do not treat uploaded images and text as copyrighted if one of the following conditions exists:
 * Has a copyright notice and was published before January 1, 1923.
 * Does not have a copyright notice, but appears to have been published before January 1, 1978.

Although this is supposed to be a public domain project, it is also user-editable; if you want to reuse the content on this site, please make sure to check that it was added by someone who knows the copyright rules, and do your own research if necessary. Although we try to ensure that all the content for this project is public domain, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for ensuring that any content you reuse is in the public domain.

Other countries have copyright rules different from the United States; if you are from outside the United States you may need to do additional research to verify whether the content is also in the public domain in your country.

If your copyright is infringed
If you find something that infringes your copyrights, you have the initial ability to do the following yourself: If you do this, make sure you justify your edits in the edit summary, or it might get reverted. You may then inform us of the suspected violation using the DMCA procedures. We will then investigate the matter, and if your case appears justified, we will remove the content. You may also take advantage of the user's talk page. If the user continues infringing activities, they will be blocked from editing.
 * In the case of text, just delete it.
 * In the case of images or other uploaded files, remove the category tags and links to the file (this will effectively discontinue usage).

By the way, be a responsible copyright owner: ensure your intellectual property bears a copyright notice, and is registered with the US Copyright Office and regularly updated. If you do not do this, you will have a much harder time justifying that the content is actually yours.
