Attribution

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

You have uploaded file which is 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}}

Discussion of changes on the Wiki

Hello, on October 25th you made a change to the Nominatim page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Nominatim&diff=2911754&oldid=2882141

In this change you removed the reference to Geocoding.ai and in the comments to the change you wrote “remove defunct services”.

However, this service is still working. Could you please tell me why you removed it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueSpearmint (talk • contribs)

The service is certainly not working. It is forwarding to nominatim.openstretmap.org. Any service I find forwarding to our production servers, even if it is just for emergency or as a last fallback, will be immediately removed from the list and has very little chance of being added back. The list is meant for people who are nice enough to want to relieve the already overused servers of the OSMF. As such only services that provide their own infrastructure are permissible for this list. Lonvia (talk)

TrueSpearmint:

Thank you very much for your reply!

I heard you and checked that the request is indeed going to nominatim.openstretmap.org. In this case, the question is resolved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueSpearmint (talk • contribs)
