Wiki permission status
All words, images, recordings, videos, and other material added to the Wiki MUST BE either used fairly (fair use), be in the public domain, be appropriately licensed for use, and/or expressly have been permitted for use in the Research Wiki by the copyright holder.

Contributor's responsibilities
It is the responsibility of each contributor who adds material to the Wiki to understand and to help document the permission to use that material as a contribution to the FamilySearch Research Wiki.

Assume ALL material from anyone else has copyright protection and is therefore inappropriate for use in the Research Wiki until you show otherwise.

The Research Wiki assumes a contributor's own words are donated to the Wiki for genealogical educational purposes with the agreement those words therefore are placed in the public domain. A contributor's own images, recordings, or videos must be declared in the public domain, or appropriately licensed for the Wiki at the time of contribution.

Any words, ideas, images, or other material originating from from someone other than the contributor should be identified as such. Moreover, it is the contributor's responsibility to demonstrate such material is either in "fair use," in the public domain, appropriately licensed, or used in the Wiki by permission.

Source footnote citations (references). Source footnotes are appropriate and always encouraged. It is the contributor's responsibility to cite the source of ideas which are not worldwide "common knowledge," and which are not the contributor's own. Quotes should always be sourced. Even the source of ideas which you paraphrase or reword should be sourced—about one source note per paragraph is normally fitting.

Permission citations. Non-text contributions such as images, recordings, or video files MUST have a documentation page describing the original source, and citing the license(s) and/or other permission allowing their use in the Research Wiki.

Citation format
