Uncyclopedia:Copyrights
It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that everyone should follow, unless they don't want to, in which case they are free to ignore it, in which case nobody will care. Please make use of the standing on one knee position to propose to this policy.
There is currently no specific copyright policy on Uncyclopedia, but copyright notices are encouraged, and copyright violations are discouraged (10 lashes for offenders). When uploading media files, users should try to post the copyright status along with the file uploaded. Users should also post a link (URL) to where they obtained the image from, and include any required attributions.
