Policy highlights
- No one person owns content on any WeRelate page. All pages are subject to change by other contributors.
- WeRelate doesn't allow pages for living people (anyone born in the last 110 years without a death date) or those living before 700 AD, with minor exceptions.
- WeRelate encourages "communication, collaboration and research" among researchers to resolve any differences of opinion, rather than simply removing conflicting opinions.
- Content that violates copyright is subject to removal.
- For more information, see WeRelate Policy.
