Also make sure to integrate imported content to fit [[Radlines:Editorial guidelines]]. ===Non-copyrightable works===Medical images (including radiographs, CT images etc) cannot be copyrightable if produced in certain countries, including the United States, see [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilegal/Copyright_of_Medical_Imaging Wikilegal/Copyright of Medical Imaging]. Therefore, it is acceptable to import medical images created in the United States to Radlines without permission from the creator, and should be tagged as {{tl|PD-US-Medical imaging}}, which will give the following information:{{PD-US-Medical imaging}} Similarly, data and factual information are ''not'' protected by copyright, and considered to be public domain once published. Additionally, simple representations and visualisations of data (e.g. tables and barcharts) are typically not creative enough to be eligible for copyright protection. As such, these types of material may be freely reusedimported to Radlines without permission. ==Relation to Wikipedia==All content in Radlines can be copied to Wikipedia as long as appropriate attribution is made. For article text, such attribution can practically be made as a mention in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Edit_summary Edit summary], adapted mentioning the Radlines article author(s) and mined without the URL of the Radlines article. The other way around, Wikipedia images (as well as images from [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons]) that have a compatible license can be used in Radlines. However, because the text in Wikipedia articles is licensed under [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License a Attribution + ShareAlike license], Wikipedia text cannot be directly copied to Radlines. Similarly, Wikipedia images released under a ShareAlike license can only be used with written permission from the author to have it published under CC BY or CC0. A response by private email is generally sufficient for this purpose. It is even more beneficial if the author agrees to change the license of the work at Wikipedia, such as changing the licensing template to {{tl|Cc-by-4.0}} on image description pages. If a more rigorous procedure is warranted, the author may store a permissionnote in the release generator of Wikimedia: https://tools.wmflabs.org/relgen/
