"Days that I have held, days that I have lost / days that outgrow, like daughters, my harbouring arms"

I'd like to suggest a few image uploading guidelines. Sorting through all of these is proving to be a nightmare @_@.
  1. Categorise you images in the appropiate category. Categories can be found here.
  2. Do not upload duplicates or near-duplicates.
  3. Name the file something which is easily understood, and describes the file.
  4. Add a brief description, so users can know what the image is of.
  5. If the image may be of dubious whereabouts, please state where you got it from. This is primarily for artwork images and fanart.
  6. Don't upload fanart, unless it is your own or you have express permission from the artist who made it.
  7. Select the correct licence in the upload form.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Good! The only thing we need to do is work on those licenses. Oh and NO HENTAI!1!!1 XD

Um, I'm pretty sure hentai is against the ToS, my dear Azul. Why, what did you have planned? ^_^

I like these suggestions, especially the naming (ye gads, how many images have I renamed?), and the licensing. We might want to create a license explanation for those who might not understand things like "fair use" and what not. Now, if only we had a lawyer or something... ^_-

ETA: Oh, and Yuan, thank you so much for doing this. I've been stumped by this for ages.

But all in all, those policies are well done.

If you look under the license section at the upload form, pick a license and it will show if we have it or not. I think we only have 1 out of 10 or something.

FA icon.png Uh-oh. Pressed for time. Please link it here for me ! Please please please......

EDIT : I managed to find the upload form, but I can't seem to find the licence section. At all. I really need someone to pass me the link.

Anyhow. What licenses are we supposed to have ? Ten ? If you guys happen to know the names, I'll work on the terms.

These are the ones that our upload form has but they don't even exist:
Template:No license (For Unknown license)
Template:Self (For self-created images)
Template:From Wikimedia (Self-explanatory)
Template:GFDL (See: GNU_Free_Documentation_License)
Template:Other free (Free license)
Template:PD (Public Domain)
Template:Permission (Uploader was give permission by the copyright holder)
And I don't know what the last one's name is and I don't really want to look for it but this is what it says:

This image is used on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki under fair use because no free source exists of the object in question, and the image is used to identify and describe the subject. The copyright is held by Square Enix. The editor who uploaded this picture, as well as any editors who use it, receive no profit as a result.

This image may not be used in any pages outside of article space. If this image is used in any other page, such as a policy page or userpage, it should be removed to respect copyright.
And that's about it :D

FA icon.png Ohhhhh. The last licence is simply called "Fair use".

Oh well, I'd better work on those others soon.
