The plain-English version

Images help explain a story. Their origin and limitations matter too.

  1. Illustrations are identified. AI-generated conceptual scenes are not documentary photographs.
  2. Sources stay visible. The credits below retain photographer names, original-source links and license information.
  3. Context matters. An archival image does not necessarily show the product, facility or capability discussed in an article.
  4. Check the individual license. Follow the source and license links for the terms applying to each credited photograph.
