Where in the world?-discussions

[scifan57]

The new rules for where in the world have been added to the first post in this thread.

Certainly the first challenge was made more difficult because it was a site under construction.
I don't use Goggle and I pretty much exhausted my usual methods of sleuthing and was unable to find a match.

The "Stayin Alive" clue turned it for me. But initially I didn't connect it to the brothers Gibb since the family moved to Queensland in the 50s.
Which is where they settled and found fame. I figured it was a reference to something else.

If you click on any image in wikipedia, you will get a page like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cranbrook_High_Street_-_geograph.org.uk_-_108310.jpg#filelinks

That page describes requirements for attribution for the the specific image, you may need to follow further links to clarify any comments.

As you can see, attribution is shown on the page.

Does this mean that,in the case of this photograph,we would mention that the photo is from Wikipedia and is attributed to Colin Smith?

You use the "this photograph's page" link, then the creative commons license link to this page http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

Ok, I have just realised that you can't follow my link, you have to follow the route to get to it described in my post.

I can't figure out how to copy the attribution link.

You may need to do it from a PC/Mac.

Gents the link attribution is troublesome for game play. It is a marker that takes a contestant either right to or close enough to the source, with great ease. Basically it pretty much eliminates the challenge aspect of WITW.

Thoughts?

The only way I could figure out how to add the link attribution is if I post the picture with my iPad,then edit the post on my computer to add the link attribution.Hardly a workable solution.Does anybody have a workable solution?

If that's the case,then where in the world under the new rules is not workable.A requirement for an attribution that gives the answer away certainly won't work.Unless a member is a world traveller who takes lots of pictures,he won't have enough photos of his own to be able to continue to post new challenges.
