RE: One of the World's Greatest Innovators: Exploring Thomas Edison's Laboratory
Hi, I liked the article, especially the lab photos.
but when looking at it I ask a question that I do not understand for longer than I have been here (I've been here since 2016) and seen a post where when they put images that are not their own creation they put the source to each one of those images, it's a job exhausting when they are many but it is supposed to do so because it is frowned upon by the community and because the bot geopardo can come to remind us of the importance of that, but I see post like this and many others where the sources are not set and it does not happen nothing, I still do not know when to put the sources and when it is not necessary, is there someone who has 2 minutes to explain it well?
thank you very much
Hey, thanks for your comment. If you use photos that you took with your own camera or pictures that you own, you don't need to say where they are from. If you use a picture that you found somewhere on line, you can include it in your post (if you have the rights to do so), and then you should put a statement about where you got the pictures.
that is to say to put any image found online I have to have the rights? not only is it worth putting the source ?, well then I've been doing that wrong!
I do not know what the repercussions may be, and the images that I have collected from the network simply put them in the source thinking that this would be enough to give credit to the author.
Anyway I still have doubts for example with the videos what happens with a music video that is perfectly known all over the world ?, for example madonna if I put a linked music video from youtube, would I necessarily have to put the link? or is it understood that is YouTube and is Madonna? Sometimes these things of copyright, copyrights and plagiarism are a bit complicated.
thanks for your time
