On the other hand, they're just ''images''. It ''is'' possible to pick images up from google, unlike article sections and template designs. I know that isn't the case here, but still. I don't think it is a very huge deal if people use images. I mean, it helps when you, you know, ''credit'' where you got that image from, which the wikia-wiki clearly didn't do, but think about it -- we don't do that either. Example: the huge, beautiful rendered images such as [[:File:Xigbar Days.png|this one]]. We got that off of some french site. I don't see a credit there. Unless we want to make a policy that says "you ''must'' supply the source you obtained your image from", let's not worry about it, 'cause it's not really a big deal... unless it's one of those ripped renders that folks like Shard conjures up, like all the item images: while they aren't ours, so to speak, they came from our resources and we would appreciate it if people acknowledged that. We're a ''wiki''. It's our ''job'' to supply information, images included. I've seen tons of images online that have our images used in them. If it really bothers us that people are using our resources, then we should make a bunch of policies and watermark all of our images. Which we shouldn't do. ''We'' would be the thieves then. Everyone gets their images somewhere, why not here? I dunno if it's just me -- I ''like'' it when people use our images. It makes me proud to know that our image database is so good that people want to use it. <!--Please note that this doesn't apply to articles and templates. Those are different matters entirely.-->}} | On the other hand, they're just ''images''. It ''is'' possible to pick images up from google, unlike article sections and template designs.

{{ErryTalk|time=01:44, 12 May 2011 (EDT)|glados=No, I was talking about images that were personally edited/ripped/etc. by US, such as the Mushroom images which I'd supplied, .gifs, Shard and IZerox's work. Renders are fine because they are official material released from a source of Square Enix, not ripped by us with the use of programs and stuff. I brought this up because I had extracted the Battle Mission emblem, I didn't find it on some site and upload it here. It was done with my effort. And I don't want other people to gain from my work, unless I am credited and gain some part of the recognition it is getting.}} | |||
