Hello, Just wondering what the policy on materials that are embedded in your pages, when the material is taken from other sites? I noticed a map on site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png ) that originally came from our web site (http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/data/pop/maps/rdmap.htm http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/data/pop/maps/rdmap.htm ). The real source of this image really should be BC Stats, Ministry of Management Services. Descriptive bits were removed from the image, but I don't think it removes the reality of the actual source of the image. I'm not that retentive, but we try to always properly attribute source, to avoid confusion (among other things).
Cheers
