4. Contributions

Content submitted to WikiPartner may be reviewed, edited, reorganized, rejected, removed, or published according to WikiPartner's editorial policies.

Submitting material does not guarantee publication.

Unless another license is clearly stated, contributors submitting original textual content agree that published contributions may be made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

You should only submit material that you have the legal right to provide.

Do not submit copyrighted text, photographs, documents, or other material unless you own the necessary rights or the material can legally be used under its applicable license or another valid legal basis.

5. Editorial independence

WikiPartner determines article eligibility, sourcing requirements, wording, structure, publication, correction, and removal according to its editorial policies.

Article subjects, representatives, contributors, and other third parties do not own or control WikiPartner encyclopedia articles about them.

Requests for changes may be reviewed, but WikiPartner is not required to accept requested wording.

See Editorial Policy and Inclusion Guidelines.
