Citation method

• Use any reasonable method you like. If an article is explicitly signed by authors, you also are invited to cite the authors (sorry, this is a bit of extra work).

• To make citations easy: Click on "Cite this article" link that appears in the toolbox menu to the left when you read a standard article. It will provide you with a series of possible citation styles and in addition a link to the precise version of the page. Of course, you also may just point to the generic version of a page ...

Rights granted to PediaPress

On May 3 we installed the collection extension by http://pediapress.com/ and I will have to come up with a modification of the Copyright statement - Daniel K. Schneider 09:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC). Currently, ordering a book doesn't seem to work. Nevertheless we make the following provisional statement: Pediapress is authorized to sell books generated from this wiki - Daniel K. Schneider.

Authors

Important notice for authors external to TECFA:

You can sign your contributions (see the help:editing rules). Ideally, we would like the Wiki to insert author names automatically, but for now - if you wish to be known as author of an article - you have to insert your name (and affiliation) manually on top of your article or section. You also can add a <pageby/> tag like here.

Daniel K. Schneider reserves the right to use any writings for other purposes (unless there is a special copyright on those parts). E.g. I am working on a textbook. In case this happens, you certainly will be cited if I can identify your contribution. In other words, by default, you grant the owners of this wiki a simple attribution license. If you plan to contribute under different conditions, let Daniel K. Schneider know and we surely can reach an agreement.

See also our Privacy policy which is not the same as on Wikipedia (i.e. we require authors to have a login and in addition a reasonable way of "real world" identification if you wish to be cited for any contribution).
