In almost all cases, '''you may not copy text from other sources into Masticationpedia'''. Doing so is a copyright violation. Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article. Copyright violations are often speedily deleted.

As a general rule, '''do not copy text from other sources'''. Doing so usually constitutes both a copyright violation and plagiarism (exceptions are discussed below). This general rule includes copying material from websites of charity or non-profit organizations, educational, scholarly and news publications, and all sources without a copyright notice. If a work does not have a copyright notice, assume it to be under copyright-protection.<ref>Most websites (and other sources) are automatically protected by copyright under rules such as the [[wikipedia:Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works|Berne Convention]], ''even if the author did not apply for copyright or place a copyright notice in their work.''</ref>
==Can I copy from open license or public domain sources?==
It is acceptable to copy text from ''public domain'' sources or those that are explicitly licensed under a compatible licensing scheme (In case of the latter, attribution of the original author may be required).
