Who are licensers of our contents?
help Under section 7-a of CC-BY-SA 3.0, the license stops automatically when one violate it. If one copied any articles without the copyright notice, would he/she be prohibited to edit the article? I found that some text are imported from other page with no links to original articles. --ആമ (talk) 06:33, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * It is technically a violation, but we don't enforce any restrictions on someone doing so. If you notice someone doing that, you could ask them to make a null edit with a link to the source of the material. That should take care of the attribution path. The copyright notice doesn't matter since it's posted on every page anyway. hope this helps. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 06:41, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict; another response)


 * If text is copied from one article to another, then we should follow the same principles as anyone else who copied the text - ie we should say where it came from.


 * We can use the template to say where it came from;


 * Usually, we try not to move text using Cut-and-paste; instead, we prefer to move the page or merge the history. For more technical information on that, see How to fix cut-and-paste moves.


 * If you need help with a specific case, please use another helpme, and tell us the details.


 * Alternatively, please talk to us live, with this.  Chzz  ►  06:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
