- Give acknowledgement to Teflpedia.

[edit] Uploading information to Teflpedia
- Please do not upload material to Teflpedia for which you do not own the copyright or which does not have a compatible licensing agreement.
- If you have written material for another wiki and wish to also contribute it to Teflpedia you should normally be free to do so as the copyright would still be yours. This is the case insofar as Wikipedia is concerned where its instructions to authors state: You retain copyright to materials you contribute to Wikipedia, text and media. Copyright is never transferred to Wikipedia. [1] You are asked however to leave a note on the talk page mentioning that you have previously used the work elsewhere.
- If you do upload work from another source with a copyright licence compatible with Teflpedia's please respect the terms of that copyright. This normally means that you should leave a note on the talk page giving acknowledgement and linking back to the original work. Notwithstanding this, we would prefer authors to contribute original work rather than copy extensively from compatible sources.
