Ended Official BYC Article Writing Contest #13

So I’ve been wondering. Even though it says you can’t send in the same article that didn’t win on previous contests, what if years or months later you edit the article- can you send it in as an entry then? Ignore me if that was a stupid question lol

It would depend on the edits you made.

I think I'll do one on raising ducks for meat. I haven't butchered any yet do to the processing part though.

(Giggles) I think Ralphie would love this article idea.

I looks great, though I have to ask about your stock photos, where did you get them from?

Someone suggested Google images, under “licensable photos”. It’s basically just photography that you’re allowed to use for things like articles and stuff; they put them on Google or their own website for people to use

Ah, I figured you would...someone suggested Google images, under “licensable photos”

Most are from BYC...I just used a few from there. I’m trying to cut down on a few photos actually

I suggest that you remove all that you don't have permission to use.

I think the ones I used were photos marked as usable to the public...does that not count? I’ll still take them down if that’ll effect the quality of the article

That is not how those photos are supposed to be used and none of us have time to verify if all of them are okay to use. I suggest that you delete them.
