? Copyright of mission statement
The mission statement on this article appears to be copied from this facebook page. I am unsure of the copyright status of a party's mission statement. Can anyone clarify? (I'm not sure if adding a mission statement might also be considered a POV violation as not presenting a balanced picture).&mdash; Rod talk 16:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * My understanding was that a mission statement was open but I could be wrong about this. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 18:45, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Copyright resides in mission statements just as in other published material. Remember also that (as stated at the start of Copyright violations) "One of the most important aspects of Wikipedia is that its text (not media; but that will be discussed shortly) may be freely redistributed, reused and built upon by anyone, under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA)...." and so we have to be particularly careful. There are procedures for releasing material for use under that license - see WP:COPYVIO for details on that and more. NebY (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
