Commons talk:Geograph Britain and Ireland
Attribution only
editI wish this organisation would consider making these pictures Attribution only. Attribution would lead back to the original source, and give the viewer the same ability to use the original images.
I write educational content. As it stands, I can not use any of these images, as they are copy-left (share-alike). Wikimedia is full of these images (makes finding an image I can use more difficult), and most people can not use them, which is a shame.

- I am disappointed that nobody can respond to me on this matter. Zzubnik (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- I would suggest registering with Geograph and asking them about this matter, but the site intends for the images to be used in education Oxyman (talk) 01:46, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- why do you want geograph to change their licence to attribution only? i don't see a problem in re-using copylefted content. if you will not create derivative works of copylefted images, complying with the licence would be the same as complying with cc-by. also, cc-by-sa would prevent derivators to relicense their derivative work under a more restrictive or non-free license, and i agree with the spirit of copyleft TemTem (talk) 02:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
Uncategorized-Geograph and gridref parameter
editAfter categorizng (or checking the categories), should I just remove the {{Uncategorized-Geograph}} transclusion completely? I assume so. My hesitation is because that template has the gridref parameter, and that's the only place on the page that the gridref string is. Superm401 - Talk 08:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes you should if the file has been correctly categorised, as it will then have appropriate location categories (at least as precise as town/village level; county-level is insufficent). Once the file has been localised to that level, the grid ref cat isn't needed. The precise location is retained via the lat/long info.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

- Commons:Geograph Britain and Ireland and its language subpages were at most semi-protected, so I've updated all of them. --bjh21 (talk) 13:16, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
