==Things for contributors to know==
 +

'''Copyleft''' means that every single yahoo, nutcase, screwjob, charlatan, shyster, weirdo, freakazoid, mouthbreather, goofball, lamer, cheater and jerk will have the right to read, copy, print, save, download, read aloud, project, modify, email, distribute, sell, photocopy and correct your work however they want to.
 +
 
 +
''In particular'', your work can be ruthlessly modified, edited, or cut from WikiPeace altogether by other editors. It can be photocopied thousands of times and passed around as flyers. It can be put in Hollywood movies, and it can be projected onto a screen at an outdoor rave. It can be used for commercial ventures, advertisements, or other purposes (with some restrictions -- see [[WikiPeace:privacy rights|privacy rights]] and [[WikiPeace:publicity rights|publicity rights]]) without your direct control.

''In return for your incredible generosity'', you will have the knowledge that you are helping People all over the world, and that all copies made of your work will be attributed to you, and that everyone who derives new works from yours will have to be just as generous as you are. And, of course, you get to use all the other work in WikiPeace the same way; but you don't need to contribute to do that.
 +
 
 +
You'll also get the pleasure of collaborating with hundreds of other editors just like yourself. You'll get free spellcheck service from nit-picky folks you've never met. You'll work together with people you don't know to make better pictures, text, and maps than you've ever dreamed of.
 +
 
 +
Now, the hard part: because of the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license, you are legally responsible '''not to put other people's copyrighted work into WikisPeace without permission.''' You are responsible for getting '''model releases''' from people you take pictures of, and you are responsible for any '''libel''' you include in your articles.
 +
 
 +
Before editing articles or uploading pictures, you should read very carefully the [[WikiPeace:full text of the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license|full text of the Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 license]], and make sure that you agree to it.
