Could I remind the newsletter editors of our duty to respect copyright and free license terms? The photos in the newsletter have no attributions and license information, thus violating the copyright owners' rights.
We must do better. *Please*, take ownership of this, and make sure you understand how to re-use media responsibly. We are all bound by this duty.
If you are not confident about copyright and free licenses, I encourage you to take the free Wikimedia Core Curriculum module on the subject, available here: https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_AGP005+2025/ab...
