Images that are displayed on Jiggywikki remain the property of their original creators, and are only included on this website for purposes of illustration under fair use guidelines. Unless the original author of the image expressly grants permission, images do not fall under the scope of the Creative Commons license. In all cases, the images must be uploaded to our database, accompanied by a specific note with:

Copyrighted works

If you use part of a copyrighted work under fair use, or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Jiggywikki's material as possible (within the limits of copyright law), so original images and sound files licensed under the Creative Commons license or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use. Never use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt the project. If in doubt, write it yourself.

Copyright infringement

It is not the job of rank-and-file members of Jiggywikki to police every article for possible copyright infringement, but if you suspect an issue, please bring it up on the article's talk page. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. The most helpful piece of information you can provide is a URL or other reference to what you believe may be the source of the infringing text.

Jiggywikki requests that in the case that the owner or owners of a copyrighted work feel that their work is being illegally infringed upon, they provide a list of all items which they believe are infringing, along with the reasoning behind the belief that those items are infringing, to the site host Grifkuba or an administrator. In addition, please provide the name of a person, along with their email address or mailing address, for follow-up correspondence.
