*No to fanart on mainspace. That has been established; we don't have notable fan content, so there's no need for them.

{{iZerox|time=06:00, August 13, 2010 (UTC)|angry=Now maybe I don't understand everything your saying here. But the thing I like about this wiki the most is that it has an abundance of images. Both the CGI renders, screeenshots, and official concept art. All this really helps you to know what it is the page is talking about. From the sounds of what your saying it appears you want to remove the larger portion of it. Including notifications at the top of the pages with the XIII members stating what needs fixed or improved. And I'll be honest those really add a lot to the wiki, I'd hate to see them go. As far as user talk images go mine are custom created in photoshop to mimic the style of 358/2's sprites. Are you trying to say I can't use images for my talk bubbles that I put several hours into making just because it represents a character from the game this wiki is about? I get the whole no fan art stuff in the main articles and I totally agree. But to downsize on what we have of official images and the like just because you've suddenly decided it's not quite fitting fair use sounds irrational to me.

There are countless other sites out there that use these same images in abundance and even intermittent with modified official images. And yet these site's have never been persecuted because of it. I fail to see the reasoning behind all this nitpicking when you yourself said your user talk image could be considered a violation based on how your interpreting things.

Besides it's specifically stated that only a legal authority can determine when and where fair-use applies. I hardly see it as our area to be making decisions on. I realize your the admin and all but we have to keep things reasonable.}}
