RE: Procrastilearner's Style Guide For Science and Technology Posts
Hello @procrastilearner : This is an essential guideline. But I need to point out here is that regarding the license attribution of images. Three things are always necessary:
- Link to the source image (like the flickr link / wiki link)
- Username of creator/uploader and link to their profile (if available)
- License attribution link (if CC-by-SA Ver2 please provide that link). An example below. :
Image Source: Flickr, Uploader: ch00n, License: CC BY 2.0
Even when I looked your articles, the license info is buried in the image. Not as a link. This is not a critisizm. I appreciate your quality content very much. I think you will take this in a good spirit. I am giving a snapshot from CC-ver-2 page here:
Let me know your opinion.

Thanks for the feedback. That's a detail I missed. Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to incorporate links now without cluttering up my articles.
Always learning, always room for improvement.
Awww, so I guess I need to edit my latest steemSTEM post? But my first post went thru just fine with a steemstem/curie upvote... Hm...
Pixabay images are CC0 version mostly, so its okay I guess. But other images, you need to credit properly. You can edit now also, if the post is younger than 7 days
I think I only use Pixabay or Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons most of the time, let me check on it. Yes I just posted it a few hours ago.
In case you have more doubts, you can talk to us in #steemSTEM discord channel. You can tag me with the same username.
Oh I don't have Discord... only steem.chat. :D I'm happy at least I was able to find these helpful posts to make mine better. :D Thanks!
