[Clipart] (no subject)

I was just looking at johnnyautomatic's upload of the caterpillar that he
had gotten from a book, converted into svg and uploaded into ccHost. Link:
http://openclipart.org/cchost/media/files/johnny_automatic/839

 

In the description he put: an illustration of a caterpillar from Injurious
insects of the farm and garden Treat, Mary. Orange Judd Company, New York :
1882

 

That got me thinking, should we set down some basic guidelines - not polcies
or procedures, guidelines for how to reference different types of images
that have been sourced from elsewhere? Is there a defined referencing
standard that we should encourage people to use? Just a thought, because I
feel it would be a good idea for people, if they want to, to be able to find
the original document / image / publication if they wish.

 

Just a thought.
