Like other great colorizers on this web site, I truly think they are all an asset to our hobby, and they should receive all the credit they are owed for their work of art!

I don't believe that Keon was meaning to infer that UK is claiming credit for performing the colorizations he's been re-posting, but his point is valid. John specifically asks for attribution and/or a link to his website (Baseball Birthdays Forum - Index page) whenever his customized/colorized images are used. I believe that is a reasonable request. Likewise, when re-posting colorizations en masse, it is good form to at least mention the colorization artist(s). John is not the only one who deserves credit--I also recognize work from Sal1199 (dedicated thread here), ortforshort (dedicated thread here) and Krantzbucks (dedicated thread here) among UK's recent re-posts. I'm sorry to anyone else (FatJack?) I missed acknowledging.
