Daily News War Wiki:General disclaimer

This wiki republishes other people's reporting, and this page says on what terms.

What is here

Most of what a page on this wiki shows is a headline — the words a publisher wrote — with its outlet, its date, and a link to the story or to an archived copy of it. Those headlines and archived pages remain the work of their publishers. They are reproduced here for reference and study, quoted rather than relicensed, and every one carries a link back to its source.

Nothing on this wiki asserts ownership of another organisation's reporting, and nothing here places it under a licence its author did not choose.

What we wrote

The framing around those headlines — the page structure, the notes explaining how a page is assembled, the timelines — is written for this wiki and is available under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Encyclopedic background

Country and actor pages carry a Background section of general reference facts: history, leaders, geography, climate, culture, government. Those are retrieved from a reference work rather than written from memory, and each page names its sources at the bottom, under How this page is made.

• CIA World Factbook — public domain.
• Wikipedia — CC BY-SA 4.0, and pages reusing it say so.

Images

There are two kinds of image here and they are on different footings.

Reference images — flags, maps, leader portraits, ship photographs — come from Wikimedia Commons under a free licence. Each carries its creator and its licence in the caption, and one without that provenance is not published.

News photographs on the front page are the publisher's own, taken from our archived copy of the story. They are not freely licensed and this wiki claims no licence in them. They are shown small, credited to the publisher, and each one links back to the story it belongs to — the same footing as the headlines above: quoted for reference and study, never relicensed. If you are the rights holder and would rather a photograph were not shown, the removal process below applies to it exactly as it does to a page.

Corrections and removal

If something here misrepresents your work, or you want a copy of your page removed, that is a reasonable request and there is a process for it rather than a promise: pages can be retracted and archived copies deleted, tombstoned so they are not re-fetched.

What this is not

This is a personal, non-commercial reference archive. It is not a news service, it does not sell access, and it makes no claim to be a complete or neutral record of any conflict. What it can show is what a defined set of sources published, when they published it, and what they said.
