Attribution Details

Place descriptions are by their nature created and edited collaboratively. We list all members who contributed to an article on the article "changes history" page. When you attribute your derived work you have an option to either link to the full original article URL (or its specific revision that you have actually used) or, if you are using the article for an off-line work, you can literally re-print the article URL in your work. It is also acceptable, although not recommended, to link or refer to the main WhereTo.org page and to provide the title of the place you have derived your work from.
