Hi everyone. Is it necessary to provide attribution and license text URL after every use of CC image? We can make a page 'Copyrights' on wikilovesmonuments.org where every thing will be attributed. I mean the banner stuff, website stuff, etc. Anyway, we'd have to link to this page in the banner or what...
