We use GeoNames data in API and Drupal frontend. The data is licensed under a CC-BY license which means attribution should be given when reusing the data.

Here it reads:

cc-by licence (creative commons attributions license). You should give credit to GeoNames when using data or web services with a link or another reference to GeoNames.

I suggest to add the following text to the API page:

Credit

This API includes GeoNames data licensed under CC-BY 3.0.

@literarymachine : You might add a similar note to oerworldmap.org, e.g.:

This service makes use of GeoNames data licensed under CC-BY 3.0.
