Forum:Strict Official Image Policy?

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Strict Official Image Policy?

Bluer says at 01:25, August 13, 2010 (UTC) Went for a read in the "Guide for New Members". One of the sentences say "the Kingdom Hearts Wiki has a strict official image only policy." I interpret this as being non-free fair-use images only. There's inconsistency in the way images are handled in this wiki. Let's see if I can list the points here: Official image. When that happens it invokes fair-use. And fair-use limits how we use these images. Free images aren't allowed because of past user behavior. Wikia encourages free images, and requests limit on non-free images. However, lots of fair-use images aren't being used based on the limitation. Talk template, notification templates, all go against fair use. Furthermore, fair-use images are removed from articlespace for being redundant (in the case of artwork and render), clutter (although organized in a gallery) and would violate fair-use (although described in a caption). See how inconsistent we are? Anyone has an argument against these issues? So, guys and girls, images violating fair-use would be replaced. Note that this is an accumulation to the image policy we have here. Really sorry everyone, but this issue has been going on for a very long time already. Images that will be purged include: Files appended with a Public Domain template, but isn't because they use fair-use material. Files appended with one of the non-free, copyright templates but not used as intended. Files categorized as User Image but not originally created by the user.
