+ | This is an ideal attribution because: | ||
+ | * It contains the title of the work and is linked to the original source | ||
+ | * It contains the author of the work and is linked to their profile page | ||
+ | * It contains the appropriate linked license determined by the original author | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's possible that the work you're attributing may not have a title. In that case, it's best to mention the medium of the work and include a link to the original source. The author may also not have a profile page to link to. However, it's best to link whatever is possible for best practice. | ||
