Forum rules and Wikimedia

[Saxondog]

I thought it a good idea to point out that Wikimedia has very open copy right rules,allowing almost all of their content to be reused freely, this is the main source for most of the events of historical interest to our Hobby posted in that section. My point being we do require a mention of the material source, as wikimedia allows free use I SUGGEST using their data and adding our own information when possible, seems to me a valueable source and a fine site to support.

The Wikimedia Foundation owns almost none of the content on Wikimedia sites — it is owned by the individual creators. However, almost all may be freely reused without individual permission according to the terms of the particular license under which it was contributed to the project, but some licenses may require that the original creator be attributed. You do not need to obtain a specific statement of permission from the licensor (unless you wish to use the work under different terms than the license stated).
