Image Credits

How images are selected

Images are chosen to explain product context, materials, scale, cleaning, storage or the kitchen environment discussed in the article. A picture should not imply that a specific model was tested when it is serving as an illustration. We avoid unrelated scenery, fake labels, repeated hero images and photographs that obscure the ownership detail the page is trying to explain.

Openly licensed sources

Many editorial photographs on this site are sourced through Wikimedia Commons. Each selected file is checked for its source page, named creator where available and stated licence. Common licences may include Creative Commons Attribution, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike and public-domain status. The original file page remains the authority for the exact attribution and reuse conditions.

Where a licence requires attribution, the local media record and publication manifest preserve the creator, source URL, licence name and licence URL. Some files may have been resized or cropped for responsive web use. A crop does not change the underlying ownership or licence obligations.

Article and hub photography

Article featured images and body images are selected separately so the same file does not appear twice within one guide. Hub pages use their own photography to distinguish cookware, appliances, coffee, preparation, storage, cleaning and editorial policy sections. We audit media URLs to reduce repeated use across unrelated posts and replace an image when its subject does not match the page.

Corrections to credits

If you are a creator or rights holder and believe a credit is incomplete, contact info@thekitchengeeks.co.uk with the page URL, image description and supporting source. We will compare the request with the source record and correct an attribution, update a licence reference or remove the image when appropriate. Please do not send unnecessary identity documents in the first message.

Reuse of site material

An open licence attached to a third-party image applies to that image under its stated terms. It does not automatically license The Kitchen Geeks logo, page design, original text or other site assets. Anyone reusing an image should visit the original source page, confirm the current licence and provide the attribution required by that source rather than copying a shortened credit without checking it.

Individual source records are maintained in the site image manifest and can be checked when a reader needs the creator name, original file page or licence URL for a particular photograph. This approach keeps the publication readable while preserving the evidence required to correct a credit or confirm permitted reuse.
