Using Information from Keywiki

You are welcome to make use of any information including text, images, audio and video that you find on Keywiki. Keywiki exists to expose the covert side of politics and as such we are working to release information to the public sphere. The following guides on referencing a source document or referencing Keywiki are provided as suggestions - you are free to reference any way you wish, so long as credit is given.

Referencing Source Document

All information on Keywiki is referenced back to its original source. You are welcome to reference the source, bypassing the Keywiki page. However you must mention somewhere in your article where you found the source, for example:

Keywiki states that Quentin Young is a long time friend and supporter of Barack Obama1
1. http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/11/dr_quentin_young_obama_confidante_and

Another example:

Quentin Young is a long time friend and supporter of Barack Obama1
1. http://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/11/dr_quentin_young_obama_confidante_and
Thanks to Keywiki for source material used in this article

Referencing Keywiki

If you wish to reference http://www.keywiki.org you should mention in your article that you sourced your information at Keywiki. Two examples are below:

  1. Quentin Young was a communist with proven links to President Barack Obama.

Some text has been imported only under CC-BY-SA and CC-BY-SA-compatible license and cannot be reused under GFDL; such text will be identified either on the page footer, in the page history or the discussion page of the article that utilizes the text.

The licenses Wikipedia uses grant free access to our content in the same sense that free software is licensed freely. Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed if and only if the copied version is made available on the same terms to others and acknowledgment of the authors of the Wikipedia article used is included (a link back to the article is generally thought to satisfy the attribution requirement; see below for more details). Copied Wikipedia content will therefore remain free under appropriate license and can continue to be used by anyone subject to certain restrictions, most of which aim to ensure that freedom. This principle is known as copyleft in contrast to typical copyright licenses.
