THIS IS A DRAFT AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON IN ANY WAY.


The Citizendium has taken very careful measures to document all media on its site to standards that are unparalleled among similar sites. Even so, there are several things you ought keep in mind. The following is intended to offer some helpful, albeit non-legal guidance on reusing media hosted on our project.

Overview of how we document

At minimum, all Citizendium image pages contain the following information to assist you in reusing media we host:

  • The precise source of the image, usually as a web-link and sometimes as a citation in a paper publication.
  • Its precise copyright/licensing/usages and reusages status at the time of uploading.
  • The real name of the author or entity of the media. Except in unusual instances, the Citizendium does not host media attributed to anonymous or pseudonymous authors.
  • If different, the party responsible for digitizing and making available the image.
  • A way to make contact with whoever possesses legal rights or claimed rights to the media.
