If you come across code that has been improperly credited, whether to someone else or if it’s unknown, here are the steps to address it:
- Leave a Comment: Comment on this post. Explain the situation and request proper credit. Be polite and concise in your comment.
- Include the URL: Make sure to include the URL of the page where the code appears. This helps the relevant parties locate the specific code snippet.
- Provide Proof: If the code is indeed yours, provide proof of ownership. This could be a link to your original repository, a timestamped commit, or any other evidence that establishes your authorship.
- Specify the Name: Mention the name you would like the code to be credited to. If you have a preferred alias or username, include that as well.
Thank you for taking the initiative to ensure proper credit!
