RE: The World's Most Important Historical Discovery Was in 2014 and it Completely Changes What We Think We Know About Our Ancient Ancestors
Very nice article you have there! But do not forget to cite your sources and credit your images when necessary
Or we could find the sources, the links, for him, if we want. You know I could find links to this stuff on Google in five seconds. We all can help out in that.
The source was the top of my head, as I have personally read these tablets. But you're right I should attribute my google image I guess...? Though isn't this considered fair use for education purposes? I am not copy pasting any text or plagarizing so I'm pretty sure this constitutes fair use under copyright law and I don't need to provide a source since they are historical artifacts. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just snagged the image off Google, it isn't even the picture of the tablets I am referencing, but rather an EXAMPLE of cuneiform tablets.
Well, Google did not provide that image. Google points you to websites using the image. Under the fair use policy you are indeed allowed to use sources without actual permission of the author, but it does not give the right to use it without citing the original author of the text/images. That still is considered plagiarism even if it is used in other words.
Not sure what to do when I can't find the source and there are 3000 other examples of the image being "plagiarized" on google, seeing as how it is not cited or sourced in the other countless areas it shows up. But if you find one with an actual source let me know and I'll be sure to implement it in the post! That's collaboration :-)
