We're told:

. . . A restriction that applies to all the images licensed under Creative Commons is that you must attribute the image, that is, give credit to its creator ("author") by citing his or her name, artist's name or online-gallery user name.

OK so far, but when in conjunction with:

Some images licensed under Creative Commons are inserted into this camera wiki with no author name. This is only allowed if the person who inserted the picture is the author him/herself; although the author's name may be omitted for use of the image within this camera wiki website, the image may not be used elsewhere without attribution.

Eh?

Perhaps either:

A. Delete "without attribution".

or

B. ". . . may not be used elsewhere other than with an attribution to camera-wiki.org."

(NB these two "solutions" [or misunderstandings] are entirely different from each other.) Or

C. Something else again that I can't now think of.

Incidentally, is there any particular reason for "this camera wiki website" as opposed to "Camera-Wiki" or "camera-wiki.org"? Zuleika 02:42, 24 March 2011 (PDT)
