You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion. Where such credit is commonly given through page histories, it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. The attribution requirements are sometimes too intrusive for particular circumstances (regardless of the license), and there may be instances where the NITC Wiki community decides that imported text cannot be used for that reason.</li> | You agree that, if you import text under a CC license that requires attribution, you must credit the author(s) in a reasonable fashion.
