Putting stuff on Groupprops
Do not violate copyright!
It is unlike that content copied or plagiarized from other sources would be useful and suitable for Groupprops. Thus, copying material from other sources into Groupprops is not only wrong, it is also unlikely to be useful to Groupprops.
For putting material on Groupprops, please make sure that you do not violate any copyright agreements. Specifically:
- Do not put up links to personal versions of restricted-access articles (for instance, if you download an article from JSTOR using a university access and have a personal version somewhere, do not link to that).
- Do not copy texts or chunks of text from other sources, whether free or paid, unless the license explicitly allows you to do so. Use the appropriate Source template in case of a copyleft agreement.
- In case the content you are putting up is with the permission of the author, please include evidence of this permission.
In case you find any material on Groupprops violating copyright or intellectual property rights, please post relevant comments on the talk page of the concerned articles and also on my talk page. You can also send me email at either of these addresses:
