[[{project name}:terms and conditions]] would be a policy page that has a

That's pretty good, here is an alternate that focuses on the defamation
concerns
boought up by Tomos (I think that every Wikimedia project should
specifically
bring up the defamation thing as that potentially has more problems for wiki
projects than the copyright issues):
"All contributions submitted here are released under the GFU Free
Documentation
License]], see [[{Project name}:Copyrights and Warranty Disclaimers]] . By
clicking
save you affirm the copyright owner(s) of all submitted material agrees to
these
terms; you further affirm that such text is not defamatory or in violation
of any
law; you also agree to [[{project name}:indemnify|indemnify]] {project
name},
all other volunteers and [[Wikimedia Foundation]] for any and all claims
connected
with your submission and are bound by the [[{project name): terms and
conditions]]."
The Warranty Disclaimers are those allowed under the GFDL. See discussion
here:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion/copyvio.
These
should also be project specific (and are obviously related to the
affirmation that
are make by submitting contributors).
I would put a link to in to a specific indemnification page on each project
so that
differences in national law regarding these indemnification issues can be
better
addressed (likewise with the terms and conditions as you suggest Mav).
