Quotations

On the Dutch wiki, we are currently discussing the use of quotations from non-free content. Our questions for WMF are:

  • Do the Terms of Use (implicitly) prohibit the use of quotations from (non-free) content, not published under a licence compatible with Wikipedia? If so, why is this done?
  • How can some wiki's use such quotations e.g. as "fair use" (Wikipedia:Quotations, Wikipedia:Zitate, Wikipédia:Citation), although this seems to contradict art 7.c of the terms?

Broken link to 2009 version

At the very end of the current terms, there's a link to the archived 2009 version. Said link is broken as it's going to the wrong site. (it links to wikimediafoundation.org when it should link to foundation.wikimedia.org) 2600:4040:500D:5900:5584:5BB6:616C:A7E3 19:00, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 October 2022

I think we should change §7.4 to allow Wikisource to import GFDL books. This is because Wikisource should be able to import certain book-sized works (e.g. Free as in Freedom (2010)) that are licensed under GFDL. Matr1x-101 (talk) 18:14, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Please reach out to legal@wikimedia.org. The Terms of use can only be changed by WMF, not by the community. --Johannnes89 (talk) 06:57, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
