Any content on KeyWiki may be used elsewhere provided it is correctly referenced. All content on KeyWiki is automatically copyrighted under the Berne Convention by KeyWiki editors and contributors.

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

Another example:

Quentin Young is a long time friend and supporter of Barack Obama¹

Thanks to KeyWiki for source material used in this article

Use of Images

You are welcome to make use of any images found on KeyWiki. Please do not hotlink to images as this creates strain on the KeyWiki server. Instead please download the image and then upload it to your own server (i.e. Wordpress, Blogger)

You may use the KeyWiki logo image, however you may not modify it.

Contributing to KeyWiki

Contributors to KeyWiki must correctly reference source material. Consistent and accurate referencing is important not only to give credit to the original authors or to clearly back up statements made, but is also essential to the ongoing value of KeyWiki.

Referencing source information on KeyWiki

When creating or editing an article on Keywiki, source information must be correctly referenced. Below is a simple explanation of how to do this:

Write a sentence or copy a sentence into the article. At the end of the sentence (or within the sentence if relevant), write the following:

<ref>Reference Details, Date</ref>

If referencing a document on a website, use the following, remembering to leave a space between the website URL and the reference:

<ref>[http://website.com Reference Details, Date]</ref>

This will automatically place a reference number following the text and a reference will automatically appear at the bottom of the page under the References heading.

-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.
