===Introducing invariant sections or cover texts in Centiare===
 
+
Under Centiare's current copyright conditions, and with the current facilities of the MediaWiki software, it is only possible to include in Centiare external GFDL materials that contain invariant sections or cover texts, if all of the following apply,
====Russia: copyright exemptions ====
  −
According to the Russian copyright law of 1993 ([http://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%D0%BE%D1%82_9.07.1993_%E2%84%96_5351-1 Федеральный закон от 9.07.1993 № 5351-1]), the following items are not subject to copyrights:
  −
*Official documents (laws, court decisions, other texts of legislative, administrative or judicial character);
  −
*State symbols and tokens (flags, coats of arms, [[order (decoration)|order]]s, banknotes and other state symbols and tokens);
  −
*Folk creative works;
  −
*Reports about events and facts, of informative character.
  −
 
  −
Russian copyrights generally expire 70 years after the death of the author. Items by authors who died prior to 1953 are public domain – before 2004, the expiration term was 50 years, and this change of the term wasn't retroactive (see [http://www.copyrighter.ru/full/index.html?apispnew.htm Law 72-FZ, 2004 (in Russian)], article 2, part 3).
  −
 
  −
If an item was not published during author's life, its copyright expire 70 years after its first lawful publication (if the item wasn't moved into [[Public domain|PD]] before). This gives maximum term for unpublished or posthumously published works of 140 (if the author died after 1953) or 120 years (if the author died before 1953, AND their work was published before 2003).
  −
 
  −
If an item was published anonymously or pseudonymously, and its author remains unknown, its copyright expires 70 years after its first lawful publication. If the author is discovered, usual rule applies.
  −
 
  −
PD status of a work in Russia can differ with that in the US, where Centiare servers are located.
  −
 
  −
====Algeria====
  −
 
  −
Article 9 of Algeria's [http://lexinter.net/DZ/ordonnance_relative_aux_droits_d%27auteur_et_aux_droits_voisins.htm Ordonnance N°97-10 du 27 Chaoual 1417 correspondant au 6 mars 1997 relative aux droits d'auteur et aux droits voisins.] states that: "Works of the State made licitly accessible to the public may be freely used for non-profit purposes, subject to respect for the integrity of the work and indication of its source.  By "works of the State", in this article, are meant works produced and published by the various organs of the State, local communities, or public establishments of an administrative character." (original is in French.)  In short, they are available for non-commercial use - which is deprecated on Wikipedia.
  −
 
  −
====Afghanistan, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, San Marino, Yemen====
  −
According to [http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ38a.html Circular 38a] of the U.S. Copyright Office, [[Afghanistan]], [[Bhutan]], [[Ethiopia]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Nepal]], [[San Marino]], and possibly [[Yemen]] have no copyright relations whatsoever with the U.S. ([[Eritrea]] isn't mentioned at all.) Works originating in one of these countries thus are not copyrighted in the United States, regardless of the local copyright laws of these countries (see 17 USC § 104, quoted in the circular).
  −
 
  −
Regardless, according to [[Jimbo Wales]], Wikipedia contributors should respect the copyright law of these nations as best they can, the same as they do for other countries around the world.[http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-August/027373.html]

  −
===Introducing invariant sections or cover texts in Wikipedia===
  −
Under Wikipedia's current copyright conditions, and with the current facilities of the MediaWiki software, it is only possible to include in Wikipedia external GFDL materials that contain invariant sections or cover texts, if all of the following apply,
   
# You are the copyright holder of these external GFDL materials (or: you have the explicit, i.e. written, permission of the copyright holder to do what follows);
 
# You are the copyright holder of these external GFDL materials (or: you have the explicit, i.e. written, permission of the copyright holder to do what follows);
# The length and nature of these invariant sections and cover texts does not exceed what can be placed in an [[wikipedia:edit summary|edit summary]];
+
# The length and nature of these invariant sections and cover texts does not exceed what can be placed in an [[Centiare:edit summary|edit summary]];
 
# You are satisfied that these invariant sections and cover texts are not listed elsewhere than in the "page history" of the page where these external materials are placed;
 
# You are satisfied that these invariant sections and cover texts are not listed elsewhere than in the "page history" of the page where these external materials are placed;
# You are satisfied that further copies of Wikipedia content are distributed under the standard GFDL application of "with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts" (in other words, for the copies derived from wikipedia, you agree that these parts of the text contributed by you will no longer be considered as "invariant sections" or "cover texts" in the GFDL sense);
+
# You are satisfied that further copies of Centiare content are distributed under the standard GFDL application of "with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts" (in other words, for the copies derived from Centiare, you agree that these parts of the text contributed by you will no longer be considered as "invariant sections" or "cover texts" in the GFDL sense);
# The original invariant sections and/or cover texts are contained in the edit summary of the edit with which you introduce the thus GFDLed materials in wikipedia (so, that if "permanent deletion" would be applied to that edit, both the thus GFDLed material and its invariant sections and cover texts are jointly deleted).

Seen the stringent conditions above, it is very desirable to replace GFDL texts with invariant sections (or with cover texts) by original content without invariant sections (or cover texts) whenever possible.

It is preferred that these be obtained under the most free ([[libre]]) license (such as the GFDL or public domain) practical. In cases where no such images/sounds are currently available, then fair use images are acceptable (until such time as free images become available).

''In Wikipedia'', such "fair use" material should be identified as from an external source (on the image description page, or history page, as appropriate). This also leads to possible restrictions on the use, outside of Wikipedia, of such "fair use" content retrieved from Wikipedia: this "fair use" content does not fall under the GFDL license as such, but under the "fair use" (or similar/different) regulations in the country where the media are retrieved.

Wikipedia does use some text under licenses that are compatible with the GFDL but may require additional terms that we do not require for original Wikipedia text (such as including Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts, or Back-Cover Texts). When wanting to contribute such texts that include Invariant Sections or Cover Texts to Wikipedia, see ''[[#Introducing invariant sections or cover texts in Wikipedia|Introducing invariant sections or cover texts in Wikipedia]]'' above.

You can also contact our [[wikimedia:designated agent|designated agent]] to have it permanently removed, but it may take up to a week for the page to be deleted that way (you may also blank the page and replace it work the words <nowiki>{{copyvio|URL or place you published the test}}</nowiki> but the text will still be in the page history). Either way, we will, of course, need some evidence to support your claim of ownership.
