• curprev 14:2014:20, 15 March 2022‎ AzureCitizen talk contribs‎ 55,054 bytes +5‎ →‎Images: Some editors are misreading the "sourced to" part to mean that the source of the police photograph itself must be a "top-quality [RS] with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy," while in practice the source of the photograph and the top-quality RS included to link the photo to the incident in question are often two different sources. Repositioned and changed "must be sourced" to "must be included" to clear up this misunderstanding.
