James - I don't think there's a sufficiently strong justification for modifying the manner of attribution specified in the "Terms of Use", which in any case would only apply to re-use of future revisions of CC-BY-SA/CC-BY content that's not also exempted by "fair use". As a best practice, I do believe including timestamp or version information is helpful both for re-users themselves and for end users. [[Progressive disclosure]] keeps such information manageable. In my own re-use of CC-0 data from Wikidata, Open Library and similar sources, I do include timestamp information along with the source. Example re-use from Wikidata: https://lib.reviews/static/uploads/last-sync.png Erik _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
