RE: "Dear Dawne" Live Today! - Images: Sourcing Properly & Beware Of Copyright Concerns
Thank you for this @goldendawne! This is a topic that newbies may need to familiarize themselves with as failure to cite sources may be mistaken as plagiarism even if it's not. I have discussed unintentional plagiarism a few weeks back because I see a lot of newbies who don't provide citations or references.

As for the image sourcing, it was pointed out to me by rubencress that it's important to also cite the image owner aside from the source link. I have started including the license as well aside from the image owner (not a legal requirement for CC0 images but best to be clear). Eg. of how I do it now:
image by phtorxp from source used under CC0 Creative Commons license
EXCELLENT example @wanderlass!
Steemit (steemcleaners) has been watching and cracking down on the people who post an image, it may be cited and sourced properly, but they tag the post with photography... BUT YOU CANNOT claim a tag of photography if the image is not yours or original.
Oh I didn't know people even use free images for photography tags. Yes that is something they should be aware not to do. Hopefully they learn about it and not wait for a flag from steemcleaners. Thanks @goldendawne!
And these are from @danielsaori... Another great witness to vote for ;)
Thanks @davemccoy. I have already voted for steemcommunity and thanks for letting me know that danielsaori is also a witness. I will definitely take a look at his project as he has been helping engage newbies through his comment challenges :)
Awesome @wanderlass and I highly recommend them both :) ... Especially for you since they both not only support the community building, but they also have come out against the heavy use of bid bots. :)
But all 3 people, are awesome (as you might not know @paulag, but she is great too!)
I read danielsaori's announcement and I like his views! Happy to see more powerful people who are here to support communities. Just voted for him :) and I have already voted for steemcommunity witness too when they posted about it. I've been seeing paulag's name too associated with good projects. Happy you met awesome and good people here :)
Awesome @wanderlass! I'm happy to see you check them all out! And if it comes up with others, don't forget to spread the world ;)
Hey @wanderlass, happy to see you on this segment as always.. You always have great questions! Here are a few payable pennies courtesy of @steemcommunity ;)
