Be accurate

This page is about accuracy.

Crediting authors in social networks can help them to build an archive of their work. The crediting must be accurate: correct tagging is the keyword.

Have some love in credits. Be accurate.

Credit, license, friendship

Crediting a photo in the social networks can be done in the bad way and in the good way.
The bad way is to write the author’s name in some way: thank you very much for it, your friends will read the name but the photos will be lost immediately.
The good way is to use the social network tagging mechanism: the photos will be part of the author’s archives.

It’s important for authors. If you tag them correctly, your posts and their photos and video will be listed in their social network media, they will be automatically part of their collection. If you mention them in a random way, not tagging or tagging with another social network name, photos and videos are lost.

Facebook

If you use photos in your posts, please tag the author in the post. Please, don’t simply write the name. Please, don’t tag with the Instagram name in Facebook. The funny at sign (@) doesn’t help.

If you tag the author correctly, your post will be listed in the author’s history board and your photos will be listed as author’s photos. The author doesn’t need to share your post and you will have more visibility.

Instagram

If you post photos, please tag the author in the photos. Please, don’t simply write the name, please, don’t simply mention the author in the comments. Please, tag the photos.

If you tag the author correctly, your post will be listed in the “TAGGED” section of the author’s profile. The author can’t add your post if you don’t tag them.
