Template:CC-notice/doc

This is a template to indicate the license type, URL and author(s) of material that has been copied as permitted under a compatible Creative Commons license, and is usually placed in the references section of an article.

This template should not be used when merely citing a source, but still write all the article content in your own words. Do not use this template inside  tags unless you are quoting or copying content from the cited source directly (word-for-word) into the article.

 *  author(s) : the author or authors of the source. This is needed to meet the "appropriate credit" provision of many Creative Commons licenses, which provide (for examples in all of those covered by this template) that: "If supplied, you must provide the name of the creator and attribution parties". This field is not always required, as some sources simply do not supply the authors, and for others (for example, Wikipedia content), it is specified that a link to the URL of a page, which has an accessible page history, is sufficient credit to its author or authors.
