Sources matter
Each image has a page with its date, source and reuse conditions. A file’s upload year is not treated as its capture year. “Circa” and “year unconfirmed” are retained where the source does not establish an exact date.
Your photo stays private when comparing and generating a video. Community publishing is separate, optional and subject to moderation.
