Caption on image
This image is licensed under the creative commons CC BY 4.0. I've included the caption on the image following the advice of the Creative Commons given here which outlines the ideal attribution. I'm doing this for two reasons. First is to obey the license. But more importantly from my and Wikicommon's point of view I'm using that attribution to attempt to encourage more institutions in New Zealand to license their work under this license.

Most cultural heritage organisations in New Zealand license their scientific images much more restrictively therefore ensuring I'm unable to load those images into Wikicommons. I'm hoping if I caption the image ideally it will result in the Auckland Museum getting more traffic to its website from people interested in engaging with its collection. This in turn will hopefully ensure that that the Auckland Museum will be encouraged to share more of its images. Efforts like this can have a significant flow on effect in the cultural sector of a small country such as New Zealand. I'm hoping that in this small way I can play a part in convincing other museums and research institutions in my country to use the same creative commons license enabling better access to and reuse of specimen images.Ambrosia10 (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
