I try to, at least.

There are a few really useful facebook pages that seem to get photos before they become viral. But with no description or anything.
I ask the admin where the photos are from and they answer me "Probably from the photographer."
As if that's useful information..

Then I go to a fansite and ask if any of them know where they're from. they usually answer me with something like "Probably from the website you found them."

Then I get frustrated and eat a poptart.

Most of what I add these days are screencaps & icons, so this doesn't happen to me that often, 'cause IMDB has all that info.

Pop-tarts ftw. =D

Although with a lot of the images i upload i usually have a pretty good idea of where it came from originally so i do a check (most times before i post the image though)

And i just ate 2 pop-tarts :D

It's so simple. it bothers me when people don't credit when it's so easy to find sources.
