General Information

  • Users of this website may not upload copyrighted works without proper consent from the copyright owner.
  • Users may not plagiarize copyrighted works. Even if the works are public domain, citing sources is strongly encouraged. Normally, one should cite the original publication (rather than a second-hand source)
  • Users must cite copyrighted works (they should cite all works - but users must cite copyrighted works)
  • Users must state the copyright of all hymns, songs, and poetry they put on HymnWiki. If you don't know it, you should not post it (though you may post information about it in its article).
  • Make every attempt possible to verify the copyright information before posting. Make sure to list the copyright of anything you submit, and never submit anything you do not have the rights to submit. Generally speaking, a work is in the public domain if it was published in or before the year 1923.
