SikhiWiki:Copyright violation
Copyright violation
- If you are alleging a copyright violation on this site, please follow the procedure below:
Please observe the rules for this site - If you feel that an article infringes copyright, you must enter a remark to that effect on the article discussion page. A SikhiWiki Sewadar will then deal with the matter. You must not change the article in any way until the matter has been dealt with by the Sewadar. Changing the article will hinder the Sewadar from making the relevant checks.
In your remark please leave the following details:
- Your name and email address
- The exact part of the article that infringes the alleged copyright
- The original site of the material with a precise url
- The details of the author of that site with his or her name and email address
- If you are not the author, an authorisation from the author giving you irrevocable authority to deal with this matter.
It would help us if you could help us by providing the following optional details:
- Why you believe that the material is subject to copyright if it is a site promoting Sikhism (just as SikhiWiki)?
- Why do you feel that we cannot use that material for educational purposes on SikhiWiki?
You will appreciate that we must first carry out a thorough check before any action can be taken. The more information you provide the quicker we can remove the offensive article. However, we cannot allow users to delete material themselves without following these set guidelines. If the practise of deletion by users was allowed, this site would be prone to constant vandalism and interference from "hoax-sters"
Please observe these rules given above otherwise we will have no alternative but to debar any user who "takes the law into their own hands" and the user will be permanently banned from this site.
Remember that the sole purpose of this site is to promote Sikhi principles, values and practices and that this is done on a volunteer basis by sewadars who receive no money for their time and effort. "The Guru's Sikh, and the Sikh's Guru, are one and the same; both spread the Guru's Teachings." (p444)
