Copying from other sources
== Template Signatures ==
== Template Signatures ==
Conservapedia does not allow templates to be used as signatures, because of the potential they create for wide-scale vandalism, which could even be done by someone other than the person to whom the signature belongs.

== Copying from other sources ==
Copying from other sources is only permitted in specific circumstances, as explained below. Note that this is an expansion of [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandment 1]].
=== Permitted ===
Copying from other sources can only be done in the following circumstances.
* You are copying from a public domain source. In this case, put a notice on the page to indicate this. An example notice is {{tl|Copyright Details (US Government)}}. Note that [[Wikipedia]] and Wikipedia mirrors are not in the public domain.
* You are copying something that you wrote, on Wikipedia or elsewhere. In this case, put a {{tl|copied from}} notice on the talk page of the article. Note that it must be all your own work, and not include contributions made by other editors.
* You are copying something that someone else wrote, with their explicit permission. This must also be noted on the article or talk page, and the original author should also note, for example on his user page on the original site, that he has provided such permission.
=== Not permitted ===
The following is '''not''' permitted (unless it fits the criteria above).
* Copying slabs of text from multiple other sources. Just because you copy from several sources does not make it your own work.
* Copying from one or more other sources and changing some words. Someone else's work changed around a bit is still copying their work; it does not constitute your own work. If it is still recognisable as another work altered, it constitutes copying.
=== If you see a copied article ===
If you notice someone copying from another source, please bring it to the attention of an administrator. Either him or you (see below) should put a {{tl|WP no copying}} notice on the user's talk page and delete the article. That notice explains what is allowed and not allowed, and advises that the deleted article can be undeleted if the copy is permitted as explained above. (A non-administrator can post the notice, although if the article name is included, it is worded as though an administrator posted it.)
