Subject: [Ticket#: 115103-FW] Just wondering
Hello,
Just wondering what the policy on materials that are embedded in
your pages, when the material is taken from other sites? I noticed a
map on
site (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png> ) that
originally came from our web site
(
http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/data/pop/maps/rdmap.htm
<http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/data/pop/maps/rdmap.htm> ). The real
source
of this image really should be BC Stats, Ministry of Management
Services.
Descriptive bits were removed from the image, but I don't think it
removes
the reality of the actual source of the image. I'm not that retentive,
but
we try to always properly attribute source, to avoid confusion (among
other
things).
Cheers
David O'Neil, Manager
