What should I do if I see a possible copyright problem on Ballotpedia?
If you see text, images or other material on Ballotpedia and you believe that the use of the material on Ballotpedia might violate a copyright, here are some steps you can take:
- If you suspect a copyright problem, but you are not positive, type {{copyright}} or {{wp-copy-vio}} at the top (beginning) of the article. This will add the article to a list of articles that have been identified as possibly violating copyright.
- If you are reasonably confident that the article violates a copyright, you can type {{now-copyvio}} on it. This will alert an administrator to review the article quickly and delete the article, or the copyrighted material on the article.
- If you are an administrator and you are reasonably sure that the article constitutes a copyright infringement, you should go ahead and delete it
What should I do if someone has used my Ballotpedia content without following the terms of the GDFL license?
In this case, you can try to contact the owner/publisher of the website that is using your content without following the terms of the GDFL license.
