RE: Pinoy Pride Eugene Torre - Asia's First Grandmaster

Hello, @iamchessguy. I think you forgot to properly give credits to your sources. I found some texts in your post that is 21% similar to this article.

You also forgot to link back the sources in your images.
I have found out that your images are similar to these sources.

It's a rookie mistake almost everyone makes but as much as possible, mention where you got the links from if you don't own the content. Some people can monetize other people's work without specifically implying they don't own the content their sharing but they get tips for the post. It's still always optional to heed this advice as this is still a decentralized chain where people can post however they want but if you notice why everyone seems to follow this practice, just look at accounts that got downvoted to oblivion.

Hello @iamchessguy
I would like to give you some advice.
It is mandatory to indicate the source of each image individually, as long as they do not all come from a shared source. If you don't do that, sooner or later you will get in trouble up to the invisibility of your posts.

The easiest variant is to insert the link to the source under the image.

It works better if you put the following format under each picture:

[source](link to source)

And welcome to Hive😉

Thank you for the advice. Should I give a link to the general website like:

or

Photo courtesy of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Torre

Honestly, little minds and curmudgeons argue about that.
Some say so, others say so.

Some say that you can rely on the respect of copyrights on Wikipedia, others say that, nevertheless, sometimes the naming of the author falls under the table.

In your place I would mark every single picture with its source for two reasons.

  1. it becomes a routine, so much so that you even mark your own pictures with a source.

  2. so you exclude badly programmed bots and overzealous junior detectives as the cause of a downvoting storm.

With regard to your topic, I would also recommend you to what extent text citations are possible. But there I have no idea myself, unfortunately.

I hope I could help a little @iamchessguy

Have fun here on hive and good luck with your blog.

Thank you mate, you helped a lot! Will definitely heed your advise.

You are welcome😀
