RE: "Dear Dawne" Live Today! - Images: Sourcing Properly & Beware Of Copyright Concerns
Dear Dawne @goldendawne Thank you so much for the info. My question is:
Let's say I use a photo from wikipedia. They show you how to use it on the web, they give you "attribution link". However, this link is not the link to the file itself. You wrote - "Somewhere in your post you need to give the “url” directly to the image; not just a vague link to the general website. Be specific with the url."
So, am I posting the file URL or attribution URl, or maybe both? Not that I use a lot of the wiki pictures :).
Also, on Pixels, if the picture is free to use, what am I suppose to write in my blog? Thank you in advance!
Let's see... I have seen many people post a url link to source their image to Pinterest- well Pinterest is not where the image originated from. Pinterest is a board and the person who shared the image actually has it posted on their own personal blog or website - so that personal blog or website would be the URL needed to properly source the image.
I think that is what you are referring to. Chances are images on wikipedia (not to be confused with common wikimedia) is posted elsewhere on the internet and needs to be credited, not wikipedia
OHH Ok I got it. So for wikipedia we use "atribution" link, to credit the author, it makes perfect sense. Thank you for the clarification, you are the best, very fast response!
Thank you, I want to vote for him too, I have to look for the rules. Learning, learning. 😊
its very easy to do... All you have to do is click in the upper right and then you will see a box (see below)... Go to the vote for a witness and type in his name... @danielsaori ... Also while you are there if you know Asher, you can also vote for @steemcommunity ... Both of these guys you have to "write in" as they are not in the top 50 (yet) ;)
Thank you done and done!
Nice I know that @danielsaori and @abh12345 and @paulag will serve us well!!!
I'm glad that you and Dawne got together too! She has been a major help to me!
