Where does the giraffe image in File:Coastal battle scene with giraffe.jpg come from? --Túrelio (talk) 09:50, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jwyg, I doubt that the licensing, you have choosen for this screenshot, is really correct. Though you have (likely) made the screenshot by yourself, per se this does not give you the copyright, as it is (should be) a faith reproduction. If parts (text or graphic) of this screenshot are not PD, but still copyrighted though under a free license, you need to credit the respective authors. If you intend to upload more material from this website, it might be better to develop a template which contains the proper attribution. --Túrelio (talk) 09:48, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Though I don't doubt your claim about the copyright status of the drawing, in order to verify your claim we need the original and the name of the author. In addition, it's ethically appropriate to credit the original artist. --Túrelio (talk) 09:52, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
