Credits, licences and takedown

Under which licence each text, image and video of the archive is published, how the press is quoted and how to ask us to correct or remove something.

Texts

  • Sentences quoted from Wikipedia are reused under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0). Each quotation links to its article and states the specific revision it comes from; the list of its authors is in the article's history.
  • Wikidata data is published under CC0 (public domain) and is cited with its entry as the source.
  • The archive's own writing —chapter titles, labels, this page— is ours: see the legal notice.

Images

  • We only publish images under a free licence: public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA. They come from Wikimedia Commons and other free image archives. We do not buy images from agencies.
  • Each image carries its author and licence in its caption, linked to the original's page. If an image has no credit, the archive does not show it.
  • Images are shown from their original address, without copying them. On screen they are cropped to fit their frame; the original file is not modified.

Videos

  • YouTube videos are embedded with their player, never downloaded or re-uploaded. A video is only embedded if its publisher allows embedding.
  • Before you click, only its still frame, title and channel are shown. The player loads from youtube-nocookie.com only when you click; what happens from then on is in the cookie policy.
  • Freely licensed clips from Wikimedia Commons play in the browser's own player, with their author and licence in the caption, like images.

Press: quoted, never copied

From a press article we publish, at most:

  • the name of the outlet and the date;
  • the headline;
  • the link to the article;
  • a short quotation in quotation marks, illustrating the fact it accompanies.

We never publish the body of the article. We do not get around paywalls or the rules an outlet sets for robots in its robots.txt, and no quotation is published without first going through the editorial team's review.

This is the right of quotation recognised by Article 10 of the Berne Convention, Article 70 of the Italian copyright law (Law 633/1941) and Article 32 of the Spanish Intellectual Property Law.

Names, teams and brands

The names of people, teams, national sides, competitions, media and brands belong to their owners and are used to say what is being discussed. We do not reproduce club crests or logos: a team's colours are shown as a stripe.

Typefaces

Fraunces, Instrument Sans and IBM Plex Mono, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, served from this same server.

How to ask for a correction or a takedown

Anyone can ask: the author or rights holder of an image, a text or a video; a quoted outlet; the person being discussed; or anyone who spots an error.

Where to write

What to tell us

  • the address of the page and which element it is: the image, the quotation, the video or the fact;
  • what is wrong: that the licence is not the one shown, that the credit is wrong, that you are the author and did not authorise that use, that the fact is incorrect (and, if you can, the source that corrects it);
  • what you want: to correct the credit, to remove the element or to correct the fact;
  • how to reply to you.

What we do

  1. We reply that we have received it.
  2. If it is a rights issue and the complaint is plausible, we remove the element as soon as we read it, before we finish looking into it.
  3. We check it against the original source and the licence.
  4. We correct, we remove or, if we believe the use is correct, we explain why. In every case we reply within one month at most.

If a fact is wrong because the source is wrong, we cannot correct the source, but we can remove the fact or note on the page that another source says otherwise.

Today the only channel is email: there is no form.
