Chat Board Rules

FunTrivia is a family-friendly site and even though children aged under thirteen are not allowed to have their own accounts we know that many families use FunTrivia as a family activity. We also have to follow the laws in some countries about what is acceptable for children. As a result, although FunTrivia members are adults we do not allow conduct on the Chatboards that may conflict with our policies. In particular:

We do not allow name-calling, swearing, attacks on individuals or groups; neither do we allow discussion of politics or religion.

Please do not post personal information on the boards, including your age and contact details.

Boards
Please choose the board that best fits the subject of your post. If you are unsure, contact a Moderator first. Before starting a new topic, read other threads to see if you can add to one of those. Duplicate threads are usually not permitted. However, if there is a topic with an existing thread that no one has used for two or more years, please start a new thread.

Links
Do not post links to other sites that may contain commercial material or advertising or which contain comments sections of their own. For example, sites such as YouTube may allow comments that would not be permitted on FunTrivia and while a page may seem acceptable at the time of posting, that situation may change as comments are added. We reserve the right to remove all links.

Moderators
If you have any doubts about posting something please consult one of the Moderators and they will do their best to assist you.

Please note that the Moderators have the right to remove any material they deem to be in violation of these rules and/or FunTrivia's Terms & Conditions. If you wish to appeal against a Moderator's decision please contact the Chief Chatboard Moderator (flopsymopsy).

In some situations the Moderators may recommend that an individual player should be penalised for violating the rules; the penalties imposed will include the loss of sitewide privileges for posting on the chatboards and forums, in AskFT, and via the direct message system. Significant penalties are always discussed by several admins and only imposed after a joint decision.

Subject: Info about Label Quiz images

Posted by: MrNobody97

I asked our always-helpful WesleyCrusher for his input on a question I had regarding images used in Label Quizzes. Not only did he give me the OK to share his response, but in fact he encouraged me to share it (here in the Author Lounge), if I thought it'd be useful for others -- and I believe I've seen this come up every so often.

For context, I had asked basically this: "I'm writing a Label Quiz, and the image-upload page wants me to choose whether my image is 'my own work,' 'public domain,' etc. It's a public-domain image, but I've made changes / additions to fit the Label format -- e.g., adding numbers and a pointer arrow -- and I'm not sure if that kind of thing rises to the level of a 'derivative work.'" (I referred to his quiz "Can I use this image in my photo quiz?", which discusses this somewhat.)

He replied: "The clear choice here is public domain. You're not adding anything to the map itself, you are just providing the needed data to play the quiz. In this case, you don't even need to add any comment to indicate you did processing - think of the numbers as a separate overlay. For a derivative work to be 'my own' with quoted sources, you need to make very significant changes - enough that the result is clearly no longer the original(s). If I were to merely take a picture of a cat from the web, cropped it and color the eyes blue instead of yellow, it would still be the original license, with 'cropped and eyes recolored' added to the credit. (The reason we ask for this processing info is that we want to be able to compare to the original in case of any rights inquiry.)"

I explained that the "View Image Attributions" button doesn't exist in Label Quizzes (at least presently), so I'd rather ask for clarification instead of just guess.

So that's more or less the twofold bottom-line:
(1) When making a Label Quiz, if you're simply adding to an image the elements needed for the Label format, choose whatever usage option the original one was (e.g., public domain; Creative Commons - Attribution Only).
(2) As always, never hesitate to ask editor -- per Wes again, "Asking is the best thing you can do - we're here mostly to answer and make your experience a good one." Even if it feels like the question is silly or the answer obvious, you'll always get a friendly and helping hand.
