Question regarding content source
Hi Razender - I've got a quick question. Did you copy the content in this edit from anywhere, in part or in whole? When Googling the text, I get results from both Wikipedia and other sites. If you are copying content from Wikipedia, such as you did at Help:Images, that is fine, except that you have to state that you have done so on the article. If you are copying content from elsewhere, chances are that it's fully copyrighted and we cannot use it. Instead, it has to be written in your own words. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 14:54, 27 December 2010 (EST)
- Some of the content I did take from Wikipedia and another site, yes. I'll get right to editing the content now. Though I had no idea that you had to cite Wikipedia here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Razender 19:51, 27 December 2010 (EST)
- No problem, thanks for taking care of it. Wikipedia's license is basically that anyone can use the content for almost any purpose, as long as it is attributed and released under the same license. Since ACWiki releases its content under the same license that Wikipedia does, we can use Wikipedia's content as long as we attribute it. Regardless, it is generally desired that users write everything in their own words, since you don't have to attribute anything and it keeps the article free of one more ugly tag. ~SuperHamster Talk 19:59, 27 December 2010 (EST)
