From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Image sourcing is mandatory

[edit]
From WP:V
  • "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth" (emphasis original)
From WP:IUP
  • Nutshell statement: "fully describe images' sources and copyright details on their description pages" (emphasis mine)
  • Requirements: "Always specify on the description page where the image came from (the source) and information on how this could be verified" (emphasis mine)
  • Adding images: "Before you upload an image, make sure that ... you can prove that the image is in the public domain" (emphasis mine)
From WP:AGFC
  • Good faith and copyright: "Editors have a proactive obligation to document image uploads, etc."
