I heard back from Fandom and it wasn't much of an answer: "Essentially, you don't lose any rights but you do provide broad permissions for others to make use of your work so you would no longer have exclusive control." They provided a link to one of their blogs, which also wasn't much help: The CC-BY-SA License and You. However, this page I found on Writer's Relief was helpful: What Is Considered Previously Published Writing? It's in English and I don't know how well it will translate but basically it says that most publications consider poetry to be previously published if it was previously posted anywhere online. Most likely publications will reject such poetry but it depends on the publisher. However, such poems might be accepted if they were only previously posted on a members only site (meaning login required to view postings) for the sole purposes of critiquing and feedback and then it is still recommended that the poem be removed from the site once the feedback has been received. Since posting to this wiki is public, meaning anyone can view without a login, poetry posted here would be considered previously published.

I looked through my poetry and picked out some I thought might be good to share with you but only 2 of them were previously published and I'd be happy to create a poetry blog page here for sharing those. But the unpublished ones I can only share via email. Sorry.

As for yours, I recommend not posting any other poems that haven't been published yet unless you're certain you won't ever want to publish them elsewhere. As for the ones you've already posted, it's probably too late but if you do want to submit them for publication elsewhere, you could try removing them. You only have access to remove the content from the blog page, though...for the blog page itself to be deleted, you would have to ask one of the admins here - Kat or Gel or MD - to delete it for you. And then be up front with any publications you submit them to by letting them know you had posted them temporarily for feedback only. If the publisher can't find your poems in a Google search, they might still accept them.

Hope this helps.
