Hi, regarding File:57 weeks of vehicle tracking.samwilson.png you put a license template which had a wrong text ("This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.") and link. I have fixed both, so now both is in compliance with the template's name. If you really wanted the ShareAlike license then you need to use another template or just write the license in plain words. --Aseerel4c26 (talk) 16:58, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Attribution

Hello! And sorry for bothering you, but descriptions of files you uploaded need to be improved.

You have uploaded files which are licensed as requiring attribution. But right now attribution is not specified properly.

Please, ask for help if something is confusing or unclear in this message.

Please, fix that problem with this uploads - note that images with unclear licensing situation may be deleted.

Attribution may be missing completely or just be specified in nonstandard way, in either case it needs to be improved. Note that using CC-BY files without specifying attribution is a copyright violation, which is often unethical and unwanted. So clearly specifying required attribution is needed if license which makes attribution mandatory was used.

If it is applying to your own work which not based on work by others - then you can select own user name or some other preferred attribution or even change license to for example {{CC0-self}}

For your own work: ensure that it is clearly stated at file page that you created image/took the photo/etc

For works by others - please ensure that there is link to the original source which confirms license and that you used proper attribution, or that source is clearly stated in some other way.

Especially for old OSM-baded maps, made from data before license change on 12 September 2012 you should use "map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" as at least part of attribution

For old OSM Carto maps, which predate license change on 12 September 2012 you can use a special template {{OSM Carto screenshot||old_license}}

@MissingImageInfoBot: Thanks for the notification (although slightly odd that you don't sign your own message!). Your message on one of the files, 57_weeks_of_vehicle_tracking.samwilson.png, says that it should use the {{Cc-by-3.0-self}} template — but this doesn't exist. You might need to update your messaging. Sam Wilson 15:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I fixed bug you noticed and reported, thanks for reporting it. (I am operator of this bot). Lack of signing was intentional to make more clear that it is a bot edit, with link to page for asking question if needed. Thanks for pinging me (and thanks for Wiki software for relying ping to me) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 16:57, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

@Mateusz Konieczny: Ah, makes sense. Thanks for sorting out all these files! :-) Sam Wilson 02:15, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

It is listed at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lacking_proper_attribution - have you travelled this train since then? Have they fixed attribution? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 15:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

@Mateusz Konieczny: No, I've not been on it again. I hope to at some point later this year, so will check. Sam Wilson 06:29, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
