 ==Putting Content onto Grand Theft Wiki==
-No copyrighted content should be placed on Grand Theft Wiki unless either you own the copyright or have express written permission to use it. However, some content, such as logos, screenshots, names or short text extracts (eg quotes) may be placed if used fairly. Any quotes, text extracts or images should reference their source, unless it is obvious (eg a company logo) or generic (no identifiable author).
+No copyrighted content should be placed on Grand Theft Wiki unless one of these conditions apply:
+*You own the copyright
+*You have express written permission from the Copyright holder
+*It is an official or unofficial image of a GTA game (ie screenshot, box art)
+*It is fair & necessary to use the content (eg short quotes, company/product logos)
+Wherever possible, you should state where you found the content:
+*For images, you must use a [[Grand Theft Wiki:Copyright templates|copyright template]] on the file's page.
+*For article content, you should place a note on the talk page of the article.
 We believe it is fair to use screenshots of games to represent games and the characters, vehicles and locations in those games. We also believe that it is fair to use existing screenshots for that purpose, since we (by default) allow images to be reproduced elsewhere. Credit will be given where due. However, if the copyright holder wishes to dispute our use of an image, it should be discussed on the talk page for the image or [http://www.gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Grand_Theft_Wiki_talk:Copyright&action=edit&section=new this page].
