Attribution for image[edit]
Dear Sir,
I would like to use your image of the ironclad beetle, available at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AIronclad_Beetle.jpg in an extension-outreach publication related to pests in community environments. This publication is purely for educational purposes and has no commercial interests whatsoever.
However, the suggested attribution format, e.g., "By Sqwertz (Own work) [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC-BY-SA-3.0-2.5-2.0-1.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons", is very different from the style I will be following for other pictures in my publication, which will most likely be in the format:
"Photo by Abc Defghijk", or "Photo by Abc Defghijk, Lmnopqr.org".
Therefore for the sake of consistency, kindly let me know whether I may cite the images in the above formats, and if so, what name/affiliation should I use.
Thank you!
Sincerely, Shaku
You may simply credit the picture as, "Photo by Steve Wertz, Austin, TX", or something very similar (the picture was taken in Austin). Please email a link or PDF of the final publication (or relevant page) to wiki@swertz.cluemail.com. Any other communication can be sent there as well since I am not familiar with how to communicate using these Wikimedia Talk functions. I hope that you see this message as I have no clue how to respond to your message otherwise.
Thank you for asking and sincerely,
