Contributor Agreement

Contributions, translations, documentation, and image/source submissions must be original, authorized, or lawfully usable.

Contribution boundaries

Confirm lawful sources before submitting

  • Original guides, original reading group notes, verifiable metadata
  • Public-domain or authorized sources with edition and license notes

  • Untraceable web images or copied guide materials

License confirmation

Submission confirms the material is original, authorized, or lawfully usable, and may be edited, credited, and published under site policy.

Review and publication

Every contribution passes through four traceable stages

1

Intake and scope

Editors confirm the task, delivery format, credit, and public scope, and request missing information when needed.

2

Source and rights review

Sources, editions, pages, licenses, and third-party material are checked before anything is published.

3

Edit and confirmation

Editors may propose accuracy, structure, accessibility, or format changes; substantive rewrites should be confirmed with the contributor.

4

Publish, record, correct

Credit and sources follow the agreement. Evidence-based corrections, additions, and removal requests remain open after publication.

Credit, privacy, and exit

Contributors keep clear choices

Credit

Choose a real name, organization, pseudonym, or anonymous credit. Private email addresses are not published.

Changes and withdrawal

Withdraw before publication; afterward, request a correction, credit change, or removal. Editors consider public record, rights, and safety.

No automatic acceptance

Submission is not a promise to publish. Editors may return work for insufficient sources, unclear rights, duplication, scope, or quality, with actionable reasons.
