License?

Can you explain the references to Creative Commons in your edits? I see no such indicator on that web site. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. All images loaded in this site come from flickr and were selected in advanced search mode filtering for creative commons licenses. There is a block of text at the top of the home page that explains the copyright policy and every image has (1) a link to the license on the CC web page and (2) an attribution link to the original author, and (3) a link to the original source on flickr. You're certainly right that I should make this more clear on my site and I will do so. Thanks. —animal_photos (talk) 04:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be preferable for the photos to be uploaded here or on to Wikimedia Commons. There is no benefit to Wikipedia to link to other people's Flickr photos through your web site. We could just upload the photos ourselves. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
