MEpedia talk:Copyright policy

Revisions
Hi Njt, I copied your message from MediaWiki talk:Copyrightwarning here so we could incorporate your input:


 * There should be a "unless others noted" exception here. We have a significant amount of images either with no license set (mostly through fair use but some might have been uploaded without permission eg from tweets or clipart websites) - plus there's some images under a Non-commercial license from research, plus some public domain images etc. I do this this message could be helpful in pointing editors at what is / is not a reliable source and/or the Manual of Style - which a new anonymous editor recently missed and wanted to rename a page without following that. - notjusttired (talk) 14:59, 16 April 2019 (EDT)
 * A few thoughts/questions:
 * I added the Science guidelines, Editorial guidelines and MOS as "See also", so perhaps that will help people find it more easily, while still keeping this page as succinct as possible.
 * I'm not sure I totally understand what you mean about an "unless others noted" exception, do you mind explaining a little more?
 * For non-commercial licenses in particular: my understanding is that any commercial restrictions means a license does not satisfy CC-BY-SA and material that is only licensed that way should probably be removed? The issue as I understand it is that the CC license specifically allows everything to be used even commercially, so anything that has restrictions on its commercial re-use can't be incorporated as CC content (which all of MEpedia is). But this isn't my specialty, do you (or others) have different info?
