Q. I've sent you a contribution, why hasn't it been published?
A. We receive a huge number of contributions so please bear with us if it takes us a while to process them. We aim to deal with most submissions within three working days but there are some exceptions.
Although all contributions are read it isn't possible to publish them all. Some may be published at a later date, but others may be rejected for reasons of taste, decency, relevance and the law.
Please read our house rules or see the BBC Guidelines for more information.
See the links below for more on specific types of content which may help to make sure your contribution gets published on this site.
Q. Why do you ask for my email address or phone number on various pages?
A. Your details are covered by our
privacy policy and will be used solely for the purposes of dealing with your submission. For example, we may have a query about a Talking Point, story or website you've submitted for publication.
Never reveal any personal information about yourself (e.g. your telephone number, postal address or email address) except where requested by the website team for verification purposes.
Q. Who owns anything I decide to submit?
A.
Sending your contribution to bbc.co.uk means that you agree to our
Terms and Conditions and grant the BBC a non-exclusive licence to distribute and edit the material you submit in any way and in all media. You still own the copyright to everything you contribute and you are free to re-publish it elsewhere.
Q. Do you have any tips on writing for this website?
A. Yes. Use British English spelling - not American English! Make sure you're writing in the right tense. Don't use long strings of CAPITALS - this is considered 'shouting' on the internet. Try and include correct punctuation, and avoid writing your message in mobile phone textspeak - not everyone understands it.
Q. What format do I send digital/scanned photos to you?
A. All photos should be sent as a JPEG file if possible (.jpg, .jpe, .jpeg). We have more information on
how to send us your photos or get in touch if you're unsure how to do this.
Q. What about language? Can I submit content to you in Welsh?
A. Gallwch! Yes! Welsh language content will be passed to our sister website
Lleol i Mi - De Ddwyrain which can be found on our Welsh language service
BBC Cymru. It can be included here if it is accompanied by an English translation for the convenience of other users.
