Attribution: When using content from other sources, users must provide proper attribution. This includes citing the original author and source of the content.
Fair Use: Users should ensure that their contributions comply with fair use principles, which allow for limited use of copyrighted material without permission under certain conditions (e.g., commentary, criticism, news reporting, education, and research).

WikiV encourages the use of Creative Commons (CC) licenses, specifically the CC BY-SA 4.0 (Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International) license. This license allows users to share and adapt the content as long as they provide appropriate credit, indicate if changes were made, and distribute any contributions under the same license.

Copyright Infringement

Reporting Infringement: If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on WikiV without proper authorization, please contact us at copyright@wikiv.org. Provide the following information:

Content Removal and Disputes

Removal of Infringing Content: Upon receiving a valid copyright infringement notice, WikiV will promptly remove the infringing content and notify the user who submitted it.
