Status of all Wiki material
All words, images, recordings, videos, and other material added to the Wiki MUST BE in either 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 document its status.

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

The Research Wiki assumes a contributor's own words are donated to the Wiki for genealogical educational purposes, and therefore are in the public domain.

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 his own ideas. 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 usually fitting.

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