Old Bailey Wiki:Terms and Conditions
From Old Bailey Wiki
By signing up for a user account and posting at this site you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. The owners of the site reserve the right to delete any pages or material they deem unsuitable and to suspend user accounts or ban individual users.
Contents |
General
- You should not register more than one user account or publish under multiple identities. You do not have to give your real name, although we encourage you to do so, but when registering you will be required to provide a user name and a genuine email address at which you can receive emails.
- You may not use this site for any commercial or political activity.
Behaviour
- You must show respect and consideration for other users at all times.
- You may not publish anything that is abusive, threatening, malicious, defamatory, or unlawful.
- You may not publish anything obscene, racist, sexist or homophobic.
Content
- This site is for factual material relating to the Proceedings of the Old Bailey Online only. Fictional material will be removed without notice.
- Contributed material should be supported by references to reliable primary and/or secondary sources. Unverifiable material is liable to be removed without notice.
- You should take special care if you publish material referring to sensitive topics such as sexual crimes or the subjects prohibited above. (Be aware that we have spam blocking measures in place on the site which may automatically reject attempts to publish certain words or expressions.)
- You may edit and revise material contributed by other users, but you should do so with care and consideration. Do not delete or change material posted by other users for no good reason.
- You cannot place any restrictions on changes that may be made to your contributions; if you are not comfortable with this, a wiki may not be a suitable environment for you. If, however, you believe that someone is gratuitously vandalising material (your own or anyone else's), please contact us and we'll investigate as soon as possible.
- We take no responsibility for any work lost before it can be saved to the wiki, whether it's due to a fault in the wiki, our servers, or your own computer. (We recommend that substantial contributions to the wiki are initially drafted offline (eg in a text editor), rather than in the wiki editing interface.)
Privacy
- You may not publish any personal information (ie, home addresses, phone numbers, other private details) about any living person.
- Be very careful about providing personal information about yourself in any wiki page, including your user page. Once such information has been published, it cannot easily be erased; even if you delete it will remain accessible in the page history. We would strongly advise against publishing a home address or telephone number here. If you wish to be contactable by email, we recommend using the 'enable email from other users' feature in your Preferences page, rather than placing your email address in wiki pages.

Copyright and Plagiarism
- You may not use this site to publish without full acknowledgment any material created by anyone other than yourself, or in any way pass off the work of others as your own. You may not publish anything that contravenes copyright laws. If you reuse material from any other published source (including your own work), you must ensure that you have permission to do so, and accurately credit the source and copyright holder.
- All material published at this site is covered by a Creative Commons "Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike" Licence. (Your own copies and versions of your work published elsewhere are unaffected by this licence.) What this means is that anyone is free to copy, distribute and display any of the material, and to make derivative works of it, subject to the following conditions:
- Attribution: they must credit the original source.
- Non-Commercial: they may not use the material for commercial purposes.
- Share Alike: If they alter, transform, or build upon the material, they may distribute the resulting work only under a licence identical to this one.
- See also Project:Copyrights.
