Free image websites are good sources of images for Wikipedia articles, because they have a professional quality and don't charge for their images.
Incorrect! Free image websites don't always share their images with the correct license, and they may not even attribute the creator of the images themselves. That makes them an inappropriate source of images for Wikipedia articles.
If the image creator posts an image to an online forum and says "I don't care what people do with this," you can use the image on Wikipedia.
Incorrect! The creator of the image needs to link to an appropriate Creative Commons license in order to use the image on Wikipedia.
Openverse, with the appropriate filters, is an ideal way to find images, because it only shows images that already fit Wikipedia's criteria.
Correct! The material that Openverse returns to you will be OK to use in your Wikipedia article.
The best source of images is scanning material from your textbook.
Incorrect! Textbooks are not appropriate, as most are under a restrictive copyright.
