Here's the suggestion I made last year[1] on the subject:

Attribution. You must credit the author or organization by name;
note the title of the work; and give the URI and/or text of any
copyright notices. If you change the work, you must note the
changes.

(The last sentence would be left off for *-ND licenses.)
