	You can use CC-licensed materials as long as you follow the license conditions. One condition of all CC licenses is attribution: crediting the author and noting the source and the license. Generally speaking, attribution must reasonably include all relevant information supplied by the licensor. Because each use case is different, you can decide what form of attribution is most suitable for your specific situation. The following examples are intended to illustrate what typical prudent practices look like. We expect community norms and expectations to evolve with time, and will adapt this guide accordingly.

	:Unless an author specifically requests users to only credit a site, crediting the site where you have found the material cannot substitute crediting the author. An author may have uploaded material to a site under a CC license, but in most cases, the copyright is still held by the author, and it is the copyright holder who needs to be credited. For example, many photos sourced from Wikimedia Commons are attributed to Wikimedia when they must be attributed to the authors.		:Unless an author specifically requests users to only credit a site, crediting the site where you have found the material cannot substitute crediting the author.

 As stated above, recommended attribution depends on the medium you're working with. For media such as offline materials, video, audio, and images, consider publishing a web page with attribution information. For example, on a webpage featuring your audio recording, provide a credit list of material you used that adheres to best practices above. Doing so allows not only your material, but the materials you attribute, to be found by search engines and other web discovery tools. If possible within the medium, make the Author, Source, and License links the user can follow.
