了解更多关于 Common Threads、投稿、权利、更正与翻译的信息。
Is Common Threads already a global archive? 共同脉络已经是全球档案馆了吗？
No. It is in its founding collection phase.
The priority is a small number of responsible, useful entries
before broader expansion.
不是。项目目前处于首批馆藏建设阶段。
首要任务是在扩大规模之前，先完成少量负责任并真正有用的条目。
Who may contribute? 谁可以投稿？
Students, families, storytellers, artists, educators,
researchers, and community members may contribute when they
have a real relationship to the material and the right to share it.
学生、家庭、讲述者、艺术家、教育者、研究者与社区成员，
在与材料具有真实联系并拥有分享权利时可以投稿。
Does one story represent an entire culture? 一个故事能代表整个文化吗？
No. Every entry identifies a particular community, source,
version, and perspective. Diversity within cultures is part
of the archive’s subject.
不能。每个条目都会明确具体社区、来源、版本与视角。
文化内部的多样性本身就是档案研究的一部分。
May I submit a mural photograph? 可以提交壁画照片吗？
Only when the contributor has the right to share the photograph
and provides available artist, place, date, and community context.
Public visibility does not automatically grant republication rights.
只有在投稿者拥有分享照片的权利，并尽可能提供艺术家、地点、
日期与社区背景时才可以。作品位于公共空间，并不自动意味着
可以重新发布。
Can an entry be corrected or removed? 条目可以更正或移除吗？
Yes. The archive provides a correction and rights-concern process.
Access may be restricted during review when there is a credible
risk of harm or rights violation.
可以。档案提供更正与权利问题处理流程。
如存在可信的伤害或权利侵害风险，审查期间可以限制访问。
How is translation handled? 翻译如何处理？
Translations identify the translator or reviewer, preserve important
original terms, mark uncertainty, and invite correction rather than
pretending every meaning has an exact equivalent.
译文注明译者或审阅者，保留重要原词，标注不确定性，并欢迎更正，
而不是假装每种含义都存在完全对应的表达。
