SituationWhat changesUseful check
Author and sourceThe host is not necessarily the creator.Keep the author’s requested name and original link.
Licence and versionCreative Commons alone does not specify a licence.Record CC BY 4.0 with its link if that is the file’s licence.
ChangesDistinguish the original from your version.State cropping or adaptation and check permitted uses.

A supplied title remains recommended; CC 4.0 licences do not require it, unlike relevant earlier versions. A correct credit does not replace compliance with licence conditions.

Value is built around the draft

Artificial intelligence can accelerate wording, but it does not know the real publishing responsibility, which facts were checked or what an error could mean for readers. Editorial work must supply those elements.

Technical assistance, editorial accountability

The decisive criterion is not whether AI was used, but whether the published work adds assessable value. A useful page has a purpose, verifiable material, suitable organisation, identifiable responsibility and a maintenance process.
